ARTICLE  IX. 

CARE   OP  FORTIFICATIONS. 

36.  No  person  shall  be  permitted  to  walk  upon  any  of  the  slopes  of  a 
fortification,  except  the  ramps  and  glacis.  If,  in  any  case,  it  be  necessary 
to  provide  for  crossing  them,  it  should  be  done  by  placing  wooden  steps 
or  stairs  against  the  slopes.  The  occasional  walking  of  persons  on  a 
parapet  will  do  no  harm,  provided  it  be  not  allowed  to  cut  the  surface 
into  paths. 

37.  No  cattle,  horses,  or  other  animal  shall  ever  be  permitted  to  go 
upon  the  slopes,  the  ramparts,  or  the  parapets,  nor  upon  the  glacis,  ex- 
cept within  fenced  limits,  which  should  not  approach  the  crest  nearer 
than  30  feet. 

38.  All  grassed  surfaces,  excepting  the  glacis,  will  be  carefully  and 
frequently  mowed,  (except  in  dry  weather,)  and  the  oftener  the  better, 
while  growing  rapidly — the  grass  being  never  allowed  to  be  more  than  . 
n  few  inches  high.  In  order  to  cut  the  grass  even  and  close,  upon  small 
slopes,  a  light  one-handed  scythe  should  be  used  ;  and  in  mowing  the 
steep  slopes,  the  mower  should  stand  on  a  light  ladder  resting  against 
the  slope,  and  not  upon  the  grass.  Crops  of  hay  may  be  cut  on  the 
glacis;  or,  if  fenced,  it  may  be  used  as  pasture,  otherwise  it  should  be 
treated  as  other  slopes  of  the  fortification.  On  all  the  slopes,  spots  of 
dead  grass  will  be  cut  out  and  replaced  by  fresh  sod.  All  weeds  will 
be  eradicated. 

39.  The  burning  of  grass  upon  any  portion  of  a  fortification  is  strict- 
ly forbidden. 

40.  Particular  attention  is  required  to  prevent  the  formation  of  gul- 
•lies  in  the  parade,  terreplein,  and  ramps,  and  especially  jn  slopes  where 
grass  is  not  well  established.       « 

41.  Earth,  sand  or  ashes,  must  not  be  placed  against  wood  work  ;  a 


FORTIFICATIONS,     AC.  -*> 

free  ventilation  must  be  preserved  around  it ;  and  all  wooden  floors, 
platforms,  bridges,  &c.,  will  be  kept  clean  swept. 

42.  The  machinery  of  draw  bridges,  gates,  and  posterns  must  be  kept 
in  good  working  order  by  proper  cleaning  and  oiling  of  the  parts  ;  the 
bridges  will  be  raised,  and  the  gates  and  posterns  opened  as  often  as 
once  a  week. 

43.  The  terrepleins  of  forts,  the  floors  of- casemates,  caponniers,  store? 
rooms,  barracks,  galleries,  posterns,  magazines,  &C.,  and  the  side-walks 
in  front  of  quarters,  as  well  as  other  walks,  are  sometimes  paved  with 
brick  or  stones,  or  formed  of  concrete.  These  surfaces  must  be  preserved 
from  injury  with  great  care-  In  transporting  guns  and  carriages,  and 
in  mounting  them,  strong  way-planks  will  be  used,  and  neither  the 
wheels  nor  any.  other  part  of  the  carriages,  nor  any  machinery,  such  as 
shears,  gins,  &c.,  nor  any  handspike  or  other  implements,  will  be  allowed 
to  touch  those  surfaces.  Unless  protected  in  a  similar  manner,  no  wheel- 
barrow, or  vehicle,  or  barrel,  shall  be  rolled  on  said  surfaces.  No  vio- 
lent work  will  be  done,  nor  any  heavy  weight  suffered  to  fall  upon  them. 
In  using  machines,  as  gins,  etc.,  in  casemates,  care  must  be  taken  not  to 
injure  the  arch,  or  ceiling,  or  floors,  ^'e^lcct  of  these  precautions  may 
cause  injuries  apparently  slight,  but  serious  in  effect,  from  leaking  of 
water  into  masonry,  easem'ates,  A.c 

44.  The  doors  and  windows  of  all  store  rooms  and  unoccupied  case- 
mates, quarters,  barracks,  &c,  will  be  opened  several  times  a  week  for 
thorough  ventilation. 

43.  Masonry  shot-furnaces  will  be  boated  only  on  the  approach  of  an 
enemy.  For  ordinary  practice  with  hot  shot,  iron  furnaces  are  provided. 

46.  The  foregoing  matters  involve  but  little  expense;  the  labor  is 
within  the  meais  of  every  garrison,  and  no  technical  knowledge  is  re- 
quired beyond  what  will  be  found  among  soldiers!  Other  repairs  re- 
quiring small  disbursements,  such  as  repainting  exposed  wood  or  iron 
work,  can  be  also  excuted  by  the  garrison  ;  but  reports,  estimates,  and 
requisitions,  may  be  necessary  to  obtain  the  materials. 

47.  No  alteration  will  be  made  in  any  fortification,  or  in  any  build- 
ing whatever  belonging  to  it,  nor  in  any  building  or  work  of  any  kind; 
Dor  will  any  building  or  work  of  earth,  masonry,  or  timber,  be  erected 
within  the  fortification,  or  on  its  exterior,  within  half  a  mile,  except 
under  the  superintendence  of  the  Engineer  Department,  and  by  authori- 
ty of  the  Secretary  of  War. 

ARTICLE  X. 

CARE    OF    ARMAMENT     OF    FORTIFICATIONS. 

48.  At  each  permanent  post  with  a  fixed  battery,  and  garrisoned  by 
not  more  I  "ill  be  kept  mounted  for  purpos 
instruction  and  target  practice,  tA  and  at  posts  garri- 

!  by  more  than  one  company,  at  th  i  rate  ol  two  tor  each  of  the  com- 
pmj  ing  its  garrison.  The  other  guns  dismounted  will  be  pro- 

1  erly  placed  within    their  own  traverse    circles,  and  the  carnages  pre- 
served from  the  weather. 

49.  All  guns  should  be  sponged  clean,  and  their  vent;:  examined  to 
see  that  they  arc  clear.  Tho  chassis  should  be  traversed  and  left  in  a 
different  pos'ition,  the  top  carriage  mo\cd   backward   and  forward,  and 


6  •  ARTILLERY    PRACTICE. 

left  alternately  over  the  frontand  rear  transoms  of  the  chassis  ;  the  ele- 
vating screws  or  machines  wiped  clean,  worked  and  oiled  if  required, 
and  the  nutsof  all  bolts  screwed  up  tight.  This  should  all  be  done  reg- 
ularly once  in  every  week. 

50.  When  tarpaulins,  or  pent  houses,  are  placed  over  the  guns,  they 
should  be  removed  once  a  week  when  the  weather  is  fair,  the  carriages 
and  guns  brushed  off,  and  if  damp,  allowed  to  dry. 

51.  An  old  sponge  staff  and  head,  should  be  used  for  drill.  The  new 
sponges  should  never  be  used  unless  the  gun  is  fired.  The  implements 
should  be  kept  in  stores,  under  cover,  and  be  examined,  wiped  clean,  or 
brushed  at  least  once  a  month.  In  case  of  leather  equipments,  due 
care  should  be  taken  for  their  preservation,  by  the  use  of  oil,  but  never 
using  varnish. 

52.  Magazines  should  be  frequently  examined  to  see  that  the  powder 
is  well  preserved.  They  should  be  opened  every  other  day,  when  the 
air  is  dry  and  clear.  Barrels  of  powder  should  be  turned  and  rolled 
occasionally.  Under  ordinary  circumstances,-  only  a  few  cartridges 
should  be  kept  filled.  If  the  paper  body  of  the  cartridge  becomes  soft, 
or  loses,  its  sizing,  it  is  certain  that  the  magazine  is  very  damp,  and 
means  should  be  found  to  improve  the  ventilation.  Cartridge  bags  may 
be  kept  in  the  magazine  ready  for  filling  ;  also  port  fires,  fuses,  tubes 
and  primers.  Stands  of  grape,  cannister,  and  wads,  for  barbette  guns 
should  be  kept  in  store  with  the  implements.  In  casemate  guns,  wads 
may  be  hung  in  bundles,  and  grape  and  cannister  near  the  guns.  Shot, 
well  lacquered  and  clean,  may.  be  placed  in  piles  near  the  guns. 

ARTICLE  XL 

ARTILLERY    PRACTICE. 

53.  At  all  posts  with  fixed  batteries,  the  position  of  every  gun,  mount- 
ed or  to  be  mounted,  will  have  its  number,  and  this  number  be  placed 
on  the  gun  when  in  position. 

54.  For  every  such  work  a  post-book  of  record  will  be  kept,  under  the 
direction  of  the  commander. of  the  post,  in  which  will  be  duly  entered, 
the  number  of  each  mounted  gun,  its  calibre,  weight,  names  of  founder, 
and  its  inspector,  and  other  marks*-,  the  description  of  its  carriage  and 
date  of  reception  at  the  post;  where  from,  and  the  greatest  field  of  fire' 
of  the  gun  in  its  position. 

55.  Every  commander  of  a  fort,  or  other  fixed  battery,  •will,  before 
entering  on  artillery  practice,  carefully  reconnoitre,  and  cause  to  bo 
sketched  for  his  record  book,  the  water  channels,  with  their  soundings 
and  other  approaches-  to  the  work,  Buoys  or  marks  will  be  placed  at 
the  extreme  and  intermediate  ranges  of  the  guns,  and  these  marks  be 
numerically  noted  on  the  sketch.  A  buoy  at  every  five  hundred  yards 
may  suffice.  * 

56.  At  the  time  of  practice  a  distinct  and  careful  note  will  be  made 
for  the  record-book,  of  every  shot  or  shell  that  may  be  thrown,  desig- 
nating the  guns  fired  by  their  numbers,  the  charges  of  powder  used,  the 
time  of  flight  of  shots  and  shells,  the  ranges  and  ricochets,  and  the  po- 
sitions of  guns  in  respect  to  the  horizontal  and  vertical  lines. 

57.  The  time  of  flight  of*  shell  may  be  noted  with  sufficient  accuracy 
by  a  stop-watclr,  or  by  oounting  the  beats  (previously  ascertaining  their 


REGIMENTS.  ' 

value)  of  other  watches,  and  the  range  may  sometimes  he  computed  by 
the  time  of  flight.  Other  modes  ascertaining  the  range  will  readily  oc- 
cur to  officers  of  science. 

58.  When  charged  shells  with  fuze  are  thrown,  the  time  of  bursting 
will  be  noted.  If  they-  are  intended  to  fall  on  land,  only  a  blowing 
charge  will  be  given  to  the  sluclls,  so  that  they  may  be  picked  up  for 
further  use. 

59.  On  tilling  from  the  barrel,  the  proof  range  of  powder  will  bo 
marked  on  the  cartridges. 

GO!*  The  general  objects  of  this  practice  are,  to  give  to  officers  and 
men  the  ready  and  effective  use  of  batteries  ;  to  preserve  on  record  the 
more  important  results  for  the  benefit  of  the  same,  or  future  command- 
ers, and  to  ascertain  the  efficiency  of  guns  and  carriages.        . 

61.  The  commanders  of  field  artillery  will  also  keep  registers  of  their 
practice,  so  that  not  a  shot  or  shell  shall  he  thrown  in  the  army,  for  in- 
struction, without  distinct  objects,  such  as  range,  accuracy  of  aim,  num- 
ber of  ricochets,  time  of  bursting  in  the  case  of  shells,  &c. 

G'2.  Tho  issue  of  blank  cartridges  for  the  drill  and  instruction  of  the 
light  artillery  companies  will  lie  authorized  in  such  quantities  as  may  be 
necessary,  on  requisitions  duly  appro'ved  by  the  proper  department. 

63.  For  artillery  there  will  be  three  annual  periods  of  practice  in 
firing,  viz  :  in  April,  June  and  October.  At  the  termination  of  each 
period  the  commanding  officers  of  posts  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant- 
Gener.nl  full  reports  of  the  results. 

64.  To  determine  accuracy  in  firing  shot  and  shell,  butts  or  targets 
will  be  used.     If  no  natural  butt  presents  itself,  targets  will  be  erected. 

65.  As  practice  in  gunnery  is  a  heavy  expense,  commanders  of  com* 
panics,  and  their  immediate  superiors,  are  charged  with  the  strict  execu- 
tion of  the  foregoing  details ;  and  all  officers  on  inspection  duty  will  re- 
port through  the  proper  channels,  upon  such  execution.

ranks  by  garrison  courts,  at  posts  not  the  headquarters  of  the  regiment, 
the  company  commander  will  immediately  forward  a  transcript  of  the 
order  to  the  regimental  commander.

cate or  warrant  of  his  rank,  signed  by  the  colonel  and  countersigned  by 
the  adjutant.  Blank  warrants  arc  furnished  from  the  Adjutant-Gene- 
ral's office.  The  first,  or  orderly  sergeant,  will  be  selected  by  the  captain 
from  the  sergeants. 

74.  When  it  is  desired  to  have  bands  of  music  f>r  regiments,  there 
will  be  allowed  for  each,  sixteen  privates  to  act  as  musicians,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  chief  musicians  authorized  by  law,  provided,  the  total  num- 
ber of  privates  in  the  regiment,  including  the  band,  does  not  exceed  the 
legal  standard.

Inclosed  herewith  you  will  receive  the  report  of ,  the  officer 

commanding  the  compary  in  which  the  sergeant  has  been  serving,  to 
which  I  add  the  following  remarks  : 

,  Commanding Regiment. 

-  126.  When  a  company  is  detached  from  the  headquarters  of  the  regi- 
ment, the  reports  of  the  commanding  officer  in  this  matter,  will  pass  to 
the  regimental  headquarters  through  the  commanding  officer  of  the 
post  or  detachment,  and  be  accompanied  by  his  opinion  as  to  the  fitness 
of  the  candidate. 

127.  Ordnance  sergeants  will  be  assigned  to  posts  when  appointed, 
and  are  not  to  be  transferred  to  other  stations  except  by  orders  from 
the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  office. 

128.  At  the  expiration  of  their  term  of  service,  ordnance  sergeants 
may  be  re-enlisted,  provided  they  shall  have  conducted  themselves  in  a 
becoming  manner,  and  performed  their  duties  to  the  satisfaction  of- the 
commanding  officer.  If  the  commanding  officer,  however,  shall  wot 
think  proper  to  re  enlist  the  ordnance  sergeant  of  his  post,  he  will  not 
discharge  him  at  the  expiration  of  his  service,  unless  it  shall  be  the 
wish  of  the  sergeant,  but  will  communicate  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspec- 
tor General  his  reasons  fop  declining  to  re-enlist  him,  to  be  submitted 
to  the  War  Department. 

l'J'1.  The  officers  interested  must  be  aware,  from  the  nature  of  the 
duties  assigned  to  ordnance  sergeants,  that  the  judicious  selection  of 
them  is  of  no  small  importance  to  the  interests  of  the  service  ;  and  that 
while  the  law  contemplates,  in  the  appointment  of  these  non-commis- 
sioned officers,  the  better  preservation  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance 
stores  in  deposit  in  the  several  forts,  there  is  the  further  motive  of  of- 
fering a  reward  to  those  faithful  and  well-tried  sergeants  who  have  long 
served  their  country,  and  of  thus  giving  encouragement  to  the  soldier 
in  the  ranks  to  emulate  them  in  OOftdaot,  and  thereby  B6CUr< 
tial  promotion.     Colonels  and  captains  can  not,  therefore,  bo  too  par- ,

ticular  in  investigating  the  characters  of  the  candidates,  and  in  giving 
their  testimony  as  to  their  merits. 

130.  The  appointment  and  removal  of  ordnance  sergeants,  stationed 
at  military  posts,  in  pursuance  of  the  above  provisions  of  law,  shall  be 
reported  by  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  to  the  Chief  of  the 
Ordnance  Department.  .    • 

131.  When  a  non-commissioned  officer  receives  the  appointment  of 
ordnance  sergeant,  he  shall  be  dropped  from  the  rolls  of  the  regiment 
or  company  in  which  he  may  be  serving  at  the  time. 

132.  The  duty  of  ordnance  sergeants  relates  to  the  care  of  the  ord- 
nance, arms,  ammunition,  and  other  military  stores  at  the  post  to  which 
they  may  be  attached,  under  the  direction  of  the  commanding  officer, 
and  according  to  the  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  Department.    . 

133.  If  a  post  be  evacuated,  the  ordnance  sergeant  shall  remain  on 
duty  at  the  station,  under  the  direction  of  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance  De- 
partment, in  charge  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  and  of  such 
other  public  property  as  is  not  in  charge  of  some  officer  or  agent  of  other 
Departments  ;  for  which  ordnance  stores  and  other  property  he  will  ac- 
count to  the  chiefs  of  the  proper  departments  until  otherwise  directed. 

134.  Au  ordnance  sergeant  in  charge  of  ordnance  stores  at  a  post 
where  there  is  no  commissioned  officer,  shall  be  held  responsible  for  the 
safe  keeping  of  the  property,  and  he  shall  be  governed  by  the  regula-* 
tions  of  the  Ordnance  Department  in  making  issues  of  the  same,  and  in 
preparing  and  furnishing  the  requisite  returns.  If  the  means  at  his 
disposal  are  not  sufficient  for  the  preservation  of  the  property,  he  shall 
report  the  circumstances  to  the  Chief  of  ^the  Ordnance  Department. 

135.  Ordnance  sergeants  are  to  be  considered  as  belonging  to Ihe  non- 
commissioned staff  of  the  post,  under  the  orders  of  the  commanding 
officer.  They  are  to  wear  the  uniform,  with  the  distinctive  badges  pre- 
scribed for  the  non-commissioned  staff,  of  regiments  of  artillery ;  and 
they  are  to  appear  under  arms  with  the  troops  at  all  reviews  and  in- 
spections, monthly  and  weekly. 

136.  When  serving  at  any  post  which  may  be  the  headquarters' of  a 
regiment,  ordnance  sergeants  shall  be  reported  by  name  on  the  post  re- 
turns, and  mustered  with  the  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regiment; 
and  at  all  other  posts  they  shall  be  mustered  and  reported  in  some  com- 
pany stationed  at  the  post  at  which  they  serve  ;  be  paid  on  the  muster-

received  from  any  officer,  or  subsequently  issued  to  them  by  the  com- 
manding officer  of  the  company  for  the  time  being.  Whenever  the 
company  may  be  ordered  from  the  post,  the  ordnance  sergeant  will  be 
transferred  to  the  rolls  of  any  remaining  company,  by  the  order  of  the 
commanding  ofticer-of  the  post. 

137.  In  the  event  of  the  troops  being  all  withdrawn  from  a  post  at 
which  there  Is  an  ordnance  sergeant,  he  shall  be  furnished  with  his  de- 
scriptive roll  and  account  of  clothing  and  pay,  signed  by  the  proper 
officer  last  in  command,  accompanied  by  the  remarks  necessary  for  his 
military  history  ;  and  on  his  exhibiting  such  papers  to  any  Quastermas-

state  that  a  greater  change  is  necessary  to  save  life,  or  prevent  permanent 
disability.  Nor  will  sick  leaves  to  go  beyond  the  Department  limits  bo 
given  in  any  case,  except  of  immediate  urgency,  without  the  previous

■ ,  of  the  regiment  of ,  having  applied  for  a  certificate 

on  which  to  ground  an  application  for  leave  of  absence,  I  do  hereby 
certify  that  1  have  carefully  examined  this  officer,  and  find  that — \IIcrc 
the  natwe  of  the  disease,  wound,  or  disability,  is  to  be  fully  stated,  and 
ike  period  during  which  the  officer  has  suffered  under  its  effccts.\  And 
that  in  ronsequenee  thereof,  he  is,  in  my  opinion,  unfit  for  duty.  I  fur- 
ther declare  my  belief  that  he  will  not  be  able  to  resume  his  duties  in  a 

less  period  than .     \IIcre  state  candid!;/  and  explicitly  the  opinion

officer,  he  is  to  raise  his  hand  to  the  right  side  of  the  visor  of  his  cap, 
palm  to  the  front,  elbow  raised  as  high  as  the  shoulder,  looking  at  the 
same  time  in  a  respectful  and  soldier-like  manner  at  the  officer,  who  will 
return  the  compliment  thus  offered. 

244.  A  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  being  seated,  and  without" 
particular  occupation*  will  rise  on  the  approach  of  an  officer,  and  make 
the  customary  salutation.     If  standing,  he  will  turn  toward  the  officer 
for  the  same  purpose.     If  the  parties  remain  in  the  same  place  or  on  the 
same  ground,  such  compliments  need  not  be  repeated.

General  two  paces  in  front  of  the  rank  of  Colonels,  his  aid  two  paces 
on  his  right,  and  one  retired  ;  and  the  other  brigade  staff  officers,  those 
having  the  rank  of  field  officers,  in  the  rank  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and 
Majors,  and  those  below  that  rank,  in  the  rank  of  company  officers'. 

355.  In  passing  in  review,  a  Major-General  will- be  four  paces  in 
front  of  the  Colonel  of  the  leading  battalion  of  his  division,  and  the 
Brigadier-General  will  be  on  the  right  of  the  Colonels  of  the  leading 
battalions  of  their  brigades  ;  staff  officers  on  the  left  of  their  Generals. 

356.  When  the  line  exceeds  two  battalions,  the  reviewing  officer  may- 
cause  them  to  march  past  in  quick  time  only.  In  such  cases,  the 
mounted  officers  only  will  salute. 

357.  A  number  of  companies  less  than  a  battalion  will  be  reviewed 
as  a  battalion,  and  a.  single  company  as  if„it  were  with  the  battalion. 
In  the  latter  case,  the  company  may  pass  in  column  or  platoons. 

358.  If  several  brigades  are  to  be  reviewed  together,  or  in  one  line, 
this  further  difference  will  be  observed:  the  reviewing  personage, 
joined  by  the  General  of  the  division,  on  the  right  of  hi*  division,  will 
proceed  down  tha  line,  parallel  to  its  front,  and  when  near  the  Briga- 
dier-Generals respectively,  will  be  saluted  by  their  brigades  in  succes- 
sion. The  music  of  each,  after  the  prescribed  salute,  will  play  while 
the  reviewing  personage  is  in  front,  or  in  rear  of  it,  and  only  then. 

359.  In  marching  in  review,  with  several  battalions  in  common  time, 
the  music  of  each  succeeding  battalion  will  commence  to  play  when  the 
music  of  the  preceding  one  has  ceased,  in  order  to  follow  its  battalion. 
When  marching  in  quick  time,  the  music  will  begin  to  play  when  the 
rear  company  of  the  preceding  battalion  has  passed  the  reviewing  of- 
iiccr. 

-  360.  The  reviewing  officer  or  personage  will  acknowledge  the  salute

ARTICLE   XXXVI. 

TROOPS  IN    CAMPAIGN. 

ORGANIZATION    OP   AN    ARMV    IN    THE    FIELD. 

461.  The  formation  by  divisions  is  the  basis  of  the  organization  and 
administration  of  armies  in  the  field. 

462.  A  division  consists  usually  of  two  or  three  brigades,  either  of 
infantry  or  cavalry,  and  troops  of  other  corps  in  the  necessary  propor- 
tion. 

463.  A  brigade  is  formed  of  two  or  more  regiments.  The  first  num- 
ber takes  the  rights 

464.  Mixed  brigades  are  sometimes  formed  of  infantry  and  light  cav- 
alry, especially  for  the  advance  guards. 

465.  As  the  troops  arrive  at  the  rendezvous,  the  general  commanding- 
in-chief  will  organize  them  into  brigades  and  divisions. 

466.  The  light  cavalry  is  employed  as  flankers  and  partisans,  and 
generally  for  all  service  out  of  the  line. 

467.  Heavy  cavalry  belongs  to  the  reserve,  and  is  covered,  when  ne- 
cessary, in  marches,  camps,  or  bivouacs,  by  light  troops,  or  "infantry  of 
the  line. 

468.  The  arrangement  of  the  troops  on  parade  and  in  order  of  battle 
is — 1st,  the  light  infantry  ;  2d,  infantry  of  the  line  ;  3d,  light  cavalry  ; 
4th,  cavalry  of  the  line;  5th,  heavy  cavalry.  The  troops  of  the  artil- 
lery and  engineers  are  in  the  centre  of  the  brigades,  divisions,  or  corps 
to  which  they  are  attached  ;  marines  take  the  left  of  other  infantry; 
volunteers  and  militia  take  the  left  of  regular  troops  of  the  same  arm, 
and  among  themselves,  regiments  of  volunteers  or  militia  of  the  ^nnie 
arm  take  place  by  lot.  This  arrangement  is  varied  by  the  general  com- 
manding in-chief,  as  the  circumstances  of  war  rendef  expedient. 

469.  Brigades  in  divisions,  and  divisions  in  the  army,  are  numbered 
from  right  to  left;  but  in  reports  of  military  operations,  brigades  and 
divisions  arc  designated  by  the  name  ofthegener.il  commanding  them. 

470.  The  order  of  regiments  in  brigades  and  of  brigades  in  divisions 
may  be  changed  by  the  commander  of  the  division  for  important  rea- 
sons, such  as  the  weakness  of  some  corps,  or  to  relieve  one  from  march- 
ing too  long  at  the  rear  of  the  column.  Such  changes  must  be  reported 
to  the  general  commanding  in-chief. 

471.  The  general  commanding-in  chief  assigns  the  generals  of  divi- 
sions and  of  brigades  to  their  respective  commands,  when  the  assign- 
ment is  not  made  by  the  Department  of  War.  . 

472.  The  general  of  brigade  inspects  his  troops  in  detail,  by  compa- 
ny, wheu  he  takoa  the  command  and  at  the  opening  of  Ihe  campaign,

and  n?  often  R3  may  be  necessary  to  ascertain  exactly  their  condition. 
The  general  (if  division  makes  similar  inspections  when  he  fhinks  pro- 
per. At  these  inspections  the  generals  examine  the  arms,  clothing, 
equipments,' harness,  horses,  M'c.  ;  direct  the  necessary  repairs,  and' de- 
signate  the- men  and  horses  to  remain  in  depot,  or  march  with  the  train. 
17!.  Reports  of  inspections  are  made  by  the  general  of  brigade  to 
the  general  of  division,  and  by  the  general  of  division  to  the  geueral 
Gommanding-in  i 

474.  Daring  marches  and  nil  active  operations,  generals  of  brigade 
keep  themselves  exactly  informed,  D7  reports  of  corps  and  by  their  in- 
spections, of  the  actual  strength  of  the  regiments,  so  as  always,  and 
especially  after  an  engagrment,  to  make  accurate  returns  to  the  general 
of  division. 

47 5.  S  aff  officers  and  officers  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  according 
to  the  nature  of  the  service,  are  assigned  to  the  headquarters  of  ar- 
mies and  divisions,  and  detached  brigades,  by  order  of  the  genenrl  com- 
mar.ding-in  chief,  when  the  distribution  uf  these  officers  has  not  been 
regulated  by  the  War  Department.  The  necessary  staff  will  be  assign- 
ed to  commanders  of  brigades. 

476.  When  an  Engineer  or  other,  officer  is  charged  with  directing  an 
iition  or  making  a  reconnoisance,  without  having  command  of  the 

escort,  the  command  ?r  of  t li ^  eso«rt  shall  consult  him  on  all  the  arrange- 
ments necessary  to  secure  the  success  of  the  operation. 

•177.  Staff  officers,  and  commanders  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  re- 
port to  their  immediate  commanders  the,  state  of  the  supplies,  and  what- 
ever concerns  the  service  under  their  direction,  and  receive  their  orders, 
and  communicate  to  them  those  they  receive  from^ their  superiors  in 
their  own  corps, 

•178.  The  senior  offi  -or  of  engineers,  of  artillery,  and  the  departments 
of  the  general  staff  serving  at  the  chief  headquarters  in  the  field,  will 
transmit  to  the  bureau  of  his  department  at  Richmond,  at  the  close  of 
the  campaign,  ami  such  other  times  as  the  commander  in  the  field  may 
approve,  a  full  report  of  the  operations  of  his  department,  and  what- 
ever information  to  improve  its  pervice  he -may  he  aide  to  furnish. 

The  report  of  the  officer  of  engineers  will  embrace  plans  uf  military 
work-!  ex'cuted  during  the  campaign,  and,  in  case  of  siege,  a  journal  of 
the  attack  or  defence.

479.  When  the  wants  of  the  army  absolutely  require  it,  and  in  other 
.  under  special  instructions  from  the  War  Department,  the  general 
ii  tnding  the  army  may  levy  c  mtfibirtions  in  money  or  kind  on  the

480.  At  the  opening  of  a  campaign,  the  commander  of  an  army  de- 
termines and  announces  in  orders  the  number  of  orderlies,  mounted  or 
foot,  for  the  Generals,  and  the  corps  or  regiments  by  which  they  are  to 
be  supplied,  and  the  periods  at  which  they  shall  be  relieved. 

431.  In   marches,   the   mounted   orderlies  follow  the  Generals,  and 


r>2  I.EPOTS— <-' A  M  P». 

perform  the  duty  of  escorts,  or  march  with  orderlies  on  foot  at  the  head 
of  the  division  or  brigade. 

482.  The  staff  officer  who  distributes  the  orderlies  to  their  posts  sends 
■with  them  a  note  of  the  time  and  place  of  departure  ;  those  relieved 
receive  a  like  note  from  the  staff  officer  at  headquarters. 

483.  Mounted  soldiers  are  to  be  employed  to  carry  dispatches  onlj  iii 
special-  and  urgent  ea.-es. 

484.  The  precise  time  when  the  dispatch  is  sent  (iff,  and  the  rale  at 
which  it  is  to  be  conveyed,  are  to  be  written  clearly  on  ilie  covers  <l  all 
letters  transmitted  by  a  mouuted  orderly,  su\d  the  necescai  y  instru** 
t'ons  to-  him,  aud  the  rate  of  travel  going  and  returning,  are  to  be  dis- 
tinctly explained  to  him. 


485.  The  grand  depots  of  an  army  are  established  where  the  military 
operations  would  not  expose  them  to  be  breken  up.  Smallei  depots  are 
organized  for  the  divisions  and  the  several  arms.  They  are  command- 
ed by  officers  temporarily  disabled  for  field  service,  or  by  other  officers 
when. necessary,  and  comprise,  as  much  as  possible,  the  hospitals  and 
depots  for  convalescents.  When  conveniently  placed,  they  serve  as 
points  for  the  halting  and  assembling  of  detachments.  They  receive 
the  disabled  from  the  corps  on  the  march  ;  and  the  officsrs  in  command 
of  the  depots  send  with  the  detachments  to  the  army  those  at  the  depots 
who  have  become  fit  for  service. 

CAMPS. 

486.  Camp  is  the  plaee  were  troops  are  established  in  tents,  in  huta, 
or  in  bivouac.  Cantonments  are  the  inhabited  places  which  troops 
occupy  for  shelter  when  not  put  in  barracks.  The  camping-party  is  a 
detachment  detailed  to  prepare  a  camp. 

487.  Reconnoissances  should  precede  the  establishment  of  the' camp. 
For  a  camp  of  troops  on  the  march,  it  is  only  necessary  to  look  to  the 
health  and  comfort  of  the  troops,  the  facility  of  the  communications, 
the  convenience  of  wood  and  water,  and  the  resources  in  provisions  and 
forage.  The  ground  for  an  intrenched  camp,  or  a  camp  to  cover  a 
country,  or  one  designed  to  deceive  the  enemy  as  to  the  strength  of 
the  army,  must  be  selected,  and  tho  camp  arranged  for  the  object  in 
view. 

488.  The  camping-party  of  a  regiment  consists  of  the  regimental 
Quartermaster  and  Quartermaster.  Sergeant,  and  a  Corporal  and  two 
men  per  company.  The  Genera)  decides  whether  the  regiments  camp 
separately  or  together,  and  whether  the  police  guard  shall  accorapauy 
the  camping-party,  or  a  larger  escort  shall  be  sent. 

489.  Neither  baggage  nor  led  horses  are  permitted  to  move  with  the 
camping  party.  * 

490.  When  the  General  can.  send  in  advance  to  prepare  the  onnip.  he 
gives  his   instructions  to  the  chief  of  the  Qar  term  aster's  Department, 
who  calls  on  the  regiment  for  their  camping-parties,    and   is   accompa-  ' 
nied,  if  necessary,  by  an  Engineer  to  propose  the  defences  and  commu- 
nications. 

491.  The  watering-places  are  examined,  and  signals  placed  at  thos*

tli.it  are  dangerous.  Any  work  required  to  make  them  of  easier  access 
is  done  by  the  police  guard  or  Quarter  master's  men.  Sentinels,  to  bo 
(relieved  by  the  gaardf  of  the  regiment  when  they  come  up,  are  placed 
by  the  camping-party  over  the  water  if  it  is  Boarce,  and  over  the  houses 
and  stores  of  provisions  and  forage  in  the  vicinity. 

492.  If  the  camping-party  does  not  precede  the  regimen*,  the  Quar- 
termaster attends  to  these  things  as  soon  as  the  regiment  reaches  the' 
■care  p. 

493.  On  reaching  the  ground.,  the  infantry  form  on  the  color  front ; 
the  cavalry  in  rear  of  itsoamp. 

494.  The  Generals  establish  the  troopsin  camp ns  rapidly  as  possible 
particularly  after -long,  fatiguing  marches. 

495.  The  number  of  men  to  be  furnished  for  guards,  pickets,  and 
orderlies;  the  fatigue  partes  to  he  s-ent  for  supplies;  the  work  to  bo 
-done,  itm>  the  strength  of  the  working  parties;  the  time  and  place  for 
issues:  the  hour  of  marching,  tfcc.  are  then  announced  by  the  Briga- 
dier Generals  to  the  Colonels,  and  by  them  to  the  field  officers— tho 
Adjutant  and  Captains  formed  in  front  of  the  regiment,  the  First  Ser- 
geants taking  post  behind  their  Captains.  The  Adjutant  then  makes 
the  details,  and  the  First  Sergeants  warn  the  men.  The  regimental 
officer  of  the  day  forms  the  picket,  and  sends  the  guards  to  their  posts. 
The  colors  are  then  planted  at  the  centre  of  the  color  line,  and  the  arms 
are  Rteck*.!  on  the  line  ;  the  fatigue  parties  to  procure  supplies,  and  the 
working, parties  form  in  rear  of  the  arms  :  the  men  not  on  detail  pitch 
the  tents. 

490.  If  the  camp  is  Gear  the  enemy,  the  picket  remains  under  arms 
until  the  return  of  the  fatigue  parties,  and,  if  necessary,  is  reinforced 
by  details  from  each  company. 

497.  In  the  cavalry,  each  troop  moves  a  little  in  rear  of  the  point  at 
which  its  horses  are  to  be  secured,  and  forms  in  one  rank,-  the  men  then 
dismount :  a  detail  is  made  to  hold  the  horses  ;  the  rest  stack  their  arms 
and  fix  the  picket  rope;  after  the  horses  are  attended  to,  the  tents  nro 
pitched,  and  each  horseman  places  his  carbine  at  the  side  from  the 
weather,  and  hangs  his  t-abrc  and  bridle  on  it. 

98.   The  standard  is  then  carried  to  the  tent  of  the  Colonel. 

499.  The  terms  front,  Sank,  right,  left,  file,  and  rank,  have  the  same 
meaning  when  applied  to  camps  as  to  the  order  of  battle. 

500.  The  front  of  the  camp  is  visually  equal  to  the  front  of  the  troops. 
The.  tents  are  arranged  in  ranks  and  files.  The  number  of  ranks  varies 
with  tta  strength  of  the  Companies  and  the  size  of  the  tents. 

601.  No  officer  will  bo  allowed  to  occupy  a  house,  although  vacnnt 
and  on  the  ground  of  his  camp,  except  by  permission  of  the  commander 
of^die  brigade,  who  shall  report  it  to  the" commander  of  the  division. 

502.  The  staff  officer  charged,  with  establishing  the  camp  will  desig-

tance from  the  enemy,  and  from  the  ground  where  the  troops  are  to 
form  for  battle,  permit  it.  Taverns  and  farm  houses,  with  large  stables 
and  free  access,  are  selected  for  quartering  them.. 

537.  The  Colonel  indicates  the  place  of  assembling  in  case  of  alarm. 
It  should  generally  be  outside  the  cantonment ;  the  egress  from  it  should 
be  free,  the  retreat  upon  the  other  positions  secure,  and  roads  leading 
to  it  on  the  side  of  the  enemy  obstructed. 

538.  The  necessary  orders  being  given,  as  in  establishing  a  camp,  the 
picket  and  grand  guards   are  posted.     A  sentinel  may  be  placed  on  a  ' 
steeple  or  high  house,  and  then  the  troops  arc  marched  to  the  quarters. 
The  men  sleep  in  the  stables,  if  it  is  thought  necessary. 

539.  ^he  above  applies  in  the  main  to  infantry.  Near  the  enemy, 
.companies  or  platoons  should  be  collected,  as  much  as  possible,  in  thfe 

same  houses.     If  companies  must  be  separated,  they  should  be  dhided 
by  platoons  or  squads.     All  take  arms  at  daybreak. 

540.  When  cavalry  and  infantry  canton  together,  the  latter  furnish 
the  guards  by  night,  and  the  former  by  day. 

541.  Troops  cantoned  in  presence  of  tho  enemy,  should  be  covered* 
by  advanced  guards  and  natural  or  artificial  obstacles.  Cantonments 
taken  during  a  cessation  of  hostilities,  should  be  established  in  rear  of 
a  line  of  defence,  and  in  front  of  the  point  on  which  the  troops  would 
concentrate  to  receive  an  attack.  The  General  commanding-in-chief 
assigns  the  limits  of  their  cantonments  to  the  division*,  the  comman- 
ders of  divisions  to  brigades,  and  the  commanders  of  brigades  post 
their  regiments.  The  position  for  each  corps  in  case  of  attack  is  care' 
fully  pointed  out, by  the  Generals,

HEADQUARTERS. 


5  1-.  Generals  take  post  at  the  centre  of  their  commands,  on  the  main 
channels  <>f  communication.  If  troops  bivouac  in  presence  of  the  en- 
emy, the  Generals  bivouac  with  them. 

MILITARY    EXERCISES. 

543.  When  troops  remain  in  cam])  or  cantonment  many  dnys,  the 
Colonel?  require  them  to  be  exercised  in  the  school  of  the  battalion  and 
squadron.  Regiments  and  brigades  encamped  by  division  nre  not  uni- 
ted for  drills  wirhout  the  permission  of  the  General  of  division.  The 
troops  must  not  be  exercised  at  the  firings  without  the  authority  of  the 
General  Commaoding-in-cbief.  The  practice  of  the  drums  must  never 
begin  with  the  "general,"  or  the  "  march  of  the  regiment  ;"  nor  the 
trumpets  with  the  sound  "  to  horse."  The  hour  for  practice  is  always 
announced. 


544.  In  the  field,  verbal  orders  and  important  sealed  orders  aro  car- 
ried'by  officers,  and,  if  possible,  by  staff,  officers.  When  orders  aro 
carried  by  orderlies,  the  place  and  time  of  departure  will  be  marked  on 
them,  and  place  and  time  of  delivery  on  the  receipt- 

DISPATCHES. 

545.  Dispatches,  particularly  for  distant  corps,  should  be  entrusted 
only  to  officers  to  whom  their  contents  can  be  confided.  In  a  country 
occupied  by  the  enemy,  the  bearer  of  dispatches  should  be  accompanied 
by  at  least  two  <>f  the  best  mounted  men  ;  should  avoid  towus  and  vil- 
lages, and  the  main  roads  ;  rest  as  little  as  possible,  and  only  at  out  of- 
the-way  places.  Where  there  is  dasger,  lie  should  send  one  of  the  men 
in  advance,  and  be  always  ready  to  destroy  his  dispatches.  He  should 
be  adroit  in  answering  questions  about  the  army,  and  not  be  intimida- 
ted by  threats. 

WATCHWORDS. 

546.  The  parole  and  countersign  are  issued  daily  from  the  principal 
headquarters  of  the  command.  The  countersign  is  given  to  the  senti- 
nels ami  non-c'ra  missioned  officers  of  the  guards;  the  par  >le  to  tho 
oi  mmissioned  i  Seers  of  guards.  The  parole  is  usually  the  name  of  a 
General  :  the  countersign  of  a  battle-

548.  rf  the  countersign  is  lost,  or  one  of  the  guard  deserts  with  it, 
the  commander  on  the  Rpot  will  substitute  another,  and  report  ;he  case

549.  At- what  time  and  for  what  period  issues  are  made,  must  depend 
Iroumstanoea,  and    he   regulated   in  orders.      When  an  army  is  not 

m  iving,  rations  arc  gonorally  issued  for  four  days  at  a  time-     Issues  to 
the  companies  of  a  regiment,  and  the  fatigues  to  receive  them,  are  su-

perintended  by  an  officer  detailed  from  the  regiment.  Issues- are  made 
from  one  end  of.  the  line  to  the  other,  beginning  on  tjie  right  and  left 
alternately.  An  issue  commenced  on  one  regiment  will  not  be  inter- 
rupted for  another  entitled  to  precedence  if  it  had  been  in  place. 

THE    ROSTER,    OR   DETAILS    FOR   SERVICE. 

550.  The  duties  performed  by  detail  are  of  three  classes.  The  Jirst 
class  comprises,  1st,  grand  guards  and  outposts  ;  2d,  interior  guards,  as 
of  magazine,  hospital,  &c. ;  3d,  orderlies;  4th,  police  guards. 

The  second  class  comprises,  1st,  detachments  to  protect  laborers  on 
military  works,  as  field  works,  communications,  &c.  ;  2d,  working  par- 
ties on  such  works  ;  3d,  detachments  to  protect  fatigues. 

The  third  class  are  all  fatigues,  without  arms,  in  or  out  of  camp. 

In  the  cavalry,  stable  guards  form  a  separate  roster,  and  count  before 
fatigue. 

551.  The  rosters  are  distinct  for  each  class.  Officers  are  named  on 
them  in  the  order  of  rank.  The  details  are  taken  in  succession  in  the 
order  of  the  roster,  beginning  at  the  head. 

552.  Lieutenants  form  one  roster,  and  First  and  Second  Lieutenants 
are  entered  on  it  alternately.  The  senior  First  Lieutenant  is  the  first 
on  the  roster  ;  the  senior  Second  Lieutenant  is  the  second,  &c.  The 
Captains  form  one  roster,  and  are  exempt  from  fatigues,  except  to  su- 
perintend issues.  A  captain  commanding  a  battalion  temporarily  is 
exempt  from  detail,  and  duty  falling  to  him  passes.  Lieutenant-Colo- 
nels and  Majors  are  on  one  roster.  They  may  be  detailed  for  duties 
of  the  first  and  second  classes,  when  the  importance  of  the  guards  and 
detachments  requires  it.  Their  roster  is  kept  at  division  and  brigade 
headquarters.  In  the  company,  Sergeants,  Corporals,  and  privates 
form  distinct  rosters. 

553.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  take  duties  of 
the  first  class  in  the  order  stated,  viz  :  the  first  for  the  detail,  takes  the  . 
grand  guards  ;  the  next,  the  interior  guards  ;  the  last,  the*pohce  guards  ; 
and  the  same  rule  in  regard  to  the  details  and  duties  of  the  second 
class.  In  the  details  for  the  third  class,  the  senior  officer  takes  the 
largest  party.     The  party  first  for  detail  takes  the  service  out  of  camp- 

554.  When  the  officer  whose  tour  it  is,  is  not  able  to  take  it,  or  is  not 
present  at  the  hour  of  marching,  the  next  after  him  takes  it.  When  a 
guard  has  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or  an  interior  guard  has  reached 
its  post,  the  officer  whose  tour  it  was  cannot  then  take  it.  He  takes  the 
tour  of  the  officer  who  lias  taken  his.  When  an  officer  is  prevented  by 
sickness  from  taking,  his  tour,  it  passes.  These  rules  apply  equally  to 
non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers.  » 

555.  Duties  of  the  first  and  second  classes  are  credited  on. the  roster 
when  the  guards  or  detachments  have  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or 
an  interior  guard  has  reached  its  post-;  fatigue  duties  when  the  parties 
have  passed  the  chain  or  begun  the  duties  in  camp. 

556.  Every  officer,  non-commissioned  officer,  or  soldier  on  duty  of  the 
first  class,  or  who  is  of  the  next  detail  for  such  duty,  takes,  when  re- 
lieved, theduty  of  the  second  or  third  class  that  has  fallen  to  him  du- 
ring that  time,  unless  he  has  marched  for  detachment  of  more  than 
twenty  four  hours. 

557.  Soldiers  march  with  knapsacks  on  all  dutios  of  the  first  class  ; 


TOLICE   GUARD.  69 

and  with  arms  and  equipments  complete  on  all  working  parties  out  of 
tlic  camp,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  In  the  cavalry,  horses  are  packed 
for  all  mounted  service. 

5.i8.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men,  and  those  whose  horses  are  not 
in  order,  are  preferred  for  the  detail  for  dismounted  service.  Those 
who  are  mounted  are  never  employed  on  those  services,  if  the  number 
of  the  other  class  are  sufficient. 

559.  JKvery  non  commissioned  officer  and  soldier  in  the  cavalry  de- 
tailed for  dismounted  service  must,  before  he  marches,  take  to  the  First 
Sergeant  of  the  troop,  or  Sergeant  of  his  squad,  his  horse  equipments 
and  his  valise  ready  packed.  In  case  of  alarm,  the  First  Sergeant  sees 
that  the  horses  of  these  men  are  equipped  and  led  to  the  rendezvous. 

560.  These  rules  in  regard  to  the  rceter  apply  also  to  service  in  gar- 
rison. 

TOLICE   GUARD.  * 

561.  In  each  regiment  a  police  guard  is  detailed  every  day,  consist- 
ing of  two  Sergeants,  three  Corporals,  two  drummers,  and  men  enough 
to  furnish  the  required  sentinels  and  patrols.  The  men  are  taken  from 
all  the  companies,  from  each  in  proportion  to  its  strength.  The  guard 
is  commanded  by  a  Lieutenant,  under  the  supervision  of  a  Captain,  as 
regimental  officer  of  the  day.  It  furnishes  ten  sentinels  at  the  camp  ; 
one  over  the  arms  of  the  guard; 'one  at 'the  Colonel's  tent;  three  on 
the  color  front — one  of  them  over  the  colors;  three,  fifty  paces  in  rear 
of  the  field  i  fficers'  tents  :  and  one  on  each  flank,  between  it  and  the 
next  regiment.  If  it  is  a  flank  regiment,  one  more  sentinel  is  posted  on 
tli e  outer  flank. 

562.  An  advanced  post  is  detached  from  the  police  guard,  composed 
of  a  Serjeant,  a  Corporal,  a  drummer,  and  nine  men  to  furnish  senti- 
nels and  the  guard  over  the  prisoners.  The  men  arc  first  of  the  guard 
roster  from  each  company.  The  men  of  the  advanced  post  must  not 
leave  it  under  any  pietext.  Their  meak<  are  sent  to  the  post.  The  ad- 
vanced post  furnishes  three  sentinels;  two  a  few  paces  in  front  of  the 
p.  Bt,  opposite  the  right  and  left  wing  of  the  regiment,  posted  so  as  to 
tee  as  far  as  possible  to  the  front,  and  one  over  the  arms. 

563.  In  Uie  cavalry,  dismounted  men  arc  employed  in  preference  on 
the  police  guard.  The  mounted  men  on  guard  are  sent  in  succession, 
a  part  at  a  time,  to  groom  their  horses.     The  advanced  post  is  always 

1  of   mounted  men. 

564.  In  each  company,  a  Corporal  has  charge  of  the  stable-guard. 
lli>  tour  1/C£iii>  at  retreat,  and  ends  at  morning  stable-call.  The  stable- 
guard  :^  large  enough  to  relieve  the  men  on  post  every  two  hours.  They 

;it-.  and  are  called,  by  the  Corporal  when  wanted.  At 
retreat  lie  closes  the  Btreets  of  (he  cam])  with  cords,  or  uses  other  pre- 
cautions t<>  pi  event  the  escape  of  loo>e  hordes. 

565.  The  officer  of  the  day  is  charged  with  the  order  and  cleanliness 
of  the  Camp;  a  fatigue  is  furnished  to  him  when  the  number  of  pris- 
oners i>  insufficient  to  i  l<  an  th  6emp.  He  has  the  calls  beaten  by  tho 
drummer  of  the  <znard. 

566.  The  police  guard  and  tho  advanced  post  pay  tho  same  honors  as 
other  guards.     Hoy  take  arms  when  an  armed  body  approaches. 

7.  Thc»eentiuel  over  the  colors  has  orders  not  to  permit  thsin  to 


60  POLICE    GUARD. 

be  moved,  except  in  presence  of  an  escort ;  to  let  no  one  touch  them 
but  the  color-bearer,  or  the  Sergeant  of  the  police  guard  when  he  is 
accompanied  by  two  armed  men. 

568.  The  sentinels  on  the  color  front  permit  no  soldier  to  take  arms 
from  the  stacks,  except  by  order  of  some  officer,  or  a  non-commissioned 
officer  of  the  guard.  The  sentinel  at  the  Colonel's  tent  has  orders  to 
warn  him,  day  or  night,  ot  any  unusual  movement  in  or  about  the  camp. 

56.9.  The  sentinels  on  the  front,  flanks,  and  rear,  see  that  na  soldier 
leaves  camp  with  horse  or  arms,  unless  conducted  by  a  non-commis- 
sioned officer.  They  prevent  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers 
from  passing  out  at  night,  except  to  go  to  the  sinks,  and  mark  if  they  ' 
return.  They  arrest,  at  any  time,  suspicious  persons  prowling  about  the  . 
camp;  and  at  ni^ht,  every  one  who  attempts  to  enter,  even  the  soldiers 
of  other  corps.  Arrest*ed  persons  are  sent  to  the  officer  of  the  guard, 
who  sends  them,  if  necessary,  to  the  officer  of  the  day] 

570;  The  sentinels  on  the  front  of  the  advanced  post  have  orders  to 
permit  neither  non-commissioned  officers  or  soldiers  to  pass  the  line, 
without  reporting  at  the  advanced  post ;  to  warn  the  advanced  post  of 
the  approach  of  any  armed  body,  and  to  arrest  all  suspicious  persons. 
The  Sergeant  sends. persons  so  arrested  to  the  officer  of  the  guard,  and 
warns  him  of  the  approach  of  any  armed  body: 

571.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms  at  the  advanced  post  guards  the 
prisoners  and  keeps  sight  of  them,  and  suffers  no  one  to  converse  with 
them  without  permission.  They  are  only  permitted  to  go  to  the  sinks 
one  at  a  time,  and  under  a  sentinel. 

'  572.  If  any  one  is  to  be  passed  out  of  camp  at  night,  the  officer  of  the 
guard  sends  him  under  escort  to  the  advanced  post,  and  the  Sergeant 
of  the  post  has  him  passed  over  the  chain. 

573.  At  retreat,  the  officer  of  the  guard  has  the  roll  of  his  guard 
called,  and  inspect  arms,  to  see  that  they  are  loaded  and  in  order  ;  and 
visits  the  advanced  post  for  the  same  purpose.  The  Sergeant  of  the 
police  guard,  accompanied  by  two  armed  soldiers,  folds  the  colors  and 
lays  them  on  the  trestle  in  the  rear  of  the  arms.  He  eoes  that  the  sut- 
ler's stores  are  closed,  and  the  men  leave  them,  and'  that  the  kitchen 
fires  aie  put  out  at  the  appointed  hour. 

574.  The  officer  of  the  day  satisfies  himself  frequently  during  the 
night  of  the  vigilance  of  the  police  guard  and  advanced  post.  He 
prescribes  patrols  and  rounds  to  be  made  by  the  officer  and  non  com- 
missioned officers  of  the  guard.  The  officer  of  the  guard  orders  them 
when  be  thinks  necessary.     He  visits  the  sentinels  frequently. 

575.  At  reveille,  the  police  guard  takes  arms  ;  the  officer  of'the  guard 
inspects  it  and  the  advanced  post.  The  Sergeant  replants  the  colors  in 
place.  At  retreat  and  reveille  the  advanced  post  takes  arms  ;  the 
Sergeant  makes  his  report  to  the  officer  of  the  guard  when  he  visits  the 
post. 

576.  When  necessary,  the  camp  is. covered  "at  night  with  nnall  out- 
posts, forming  a  double  chain  of  sentinels.  These  posts  are  under  the 
orders  of  the  commander  of  the  police  guard.,  and  are.  visited  by  his  pat- 
rols and  rounds. 

577.  The  officer  of  the  guard  makes  his  report  of  his  tour  of  service, 
iucluding  the  advanced  post,  and  sends  it,  after  the  guard  is  marched 
off,  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 


POLICE    GUARD.  Ill 

578.  When  the  regiment  marches,  the  men  of  the  police  guard  return 
.to  their  companies,  except  those  of  the  advanced  post.  In  the  cavalry, 
at  the  sound  "  boot  and  saddle,"  the  officer  of  the  guard  sends  one-half 
the  men  to  saddle  and  pack ;  when  the  regiment  assembles,  all  the  men 
join  it. 

379.  When  the  camping  party  precedes  the  regiment,  and  the  new 
police  guard  marches  with  the  camping  party,  the  guard,  on  reaching 
the  camp,  forms  in  line  thirty  pares  in  front  ef  the  centre  of  the  ground 
marked  for  the  regiment.  The  officer  of  the  guard  furnishes  the  senti- 
nels required  by  the  commander  of  the  camping  party. 

The  adva*ced  post  takes  its  station. 

580.  The  advanced  post  of  the  old  police  guard  takes  charge  of  tho 
prisoners  on  the  march,  and  marches,  bayonets  fixed,  at  the  centre  of 
the  regiment.  On  reaching  the  camp,  it  turns  over  the  prisoners  to  tho 
new  advanced  post. 

581.  The  detail  for  the  picket  is  made  daily,  after  the  details  for  duty 
of  first  class,  and  from  the  next  for  detail  on  the  roster  of  that  class. 
It  is  designed  to  furnish  detachments  and  guards  unexpectedly  called 
for  in  the  twenty-four  hours;  it  counts  as  a  tour  of  the  first  class  to 
those  who  have  marched  on  detachment  o'r  gua^rd,  or  who  have  passed 
the  night  in  bivouac. 

5S2.  The  officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  of  the  picket 
are  at  all  times  dressed  and  equipped  ;  the  horses  are  saddled,  and 
knapsacks  and  valises  ready  to  be  put  on. 

58.'].  Detachments  and  guards  from  the  picket  are  taken  from  tho 
he-id  of  the  picket  roll  in  each  company,  and,  if  possible,  equally  from 
each  company.  The  picket  of  a  regiment  is  composed  of  a  Lieutenant, 
two  Sergeants,  four  Corporals,  a  drummer,  and  about  forty  privates. 
For  a  smaller  force,  the  picket  is  in  proportion  to  the  strength  of  tho 
detachment. 

.  5H4.  Officers  and  men  of  the  picket  who  march  on  detachment  or 
guard  before  retreat,  will  be  replaced. 

The  picket  is  assembled  by  the  Adjutant  at  guard-mounting  ;  it 
is  p  i  ted  twelve  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  guard,  and  is  inspected  by  its 
own  commander.  When  the  guard  has  marched  in  review,  the  com- 
mand nit  of  the  picket  marches  it  to  the  left  of  the  police  guard,  where 
it  stacks  its  ;>nns.  and  is  dismissed;  the  arms  are  under  charge  of  the 
sentinel  of  the  police  guard. 

">m'>.  The  picket  is  only  assembled  by  the  orders  of  the  Colonel  or  of- 
ficer of  the  day.     It  forms  on  the  left  of  the  police  guard. 

587.  The  officer  of  the  day  requires  the  roll  of  the  picket  to  be  called 
frequently  during  the  d;fy  ;  the  call  is  sounded  from  the  police  guard. 
At  roll-calls  and  inspection*,  infantry  pickets  assemble  with  knapsacks 
on;  eavaln  on  foot.  The  picket  is  assembled  at  retreat;  the  officer 
has  the  roll  called,  and  inspects  the  arms.  The  pickets  sleep  in  their 
tentB,  but  Without  undressing. 

588.  The  picket  does  not  assemble  at  night  except  in  eases  of  alarm, 
or  when  the^  whole  or  a  part  is  to  march  ;  then  the  officer  of  the  day 
calls  the  officers,  the  latter  the  non-commissioned  officers,  and  these 
the  men,  for  which  purpose  each  ascertains  the  tents  of  those  he  is  to 
call  ;  they  are  assembled  without  beat  of  drum  or  other  noise.  At 
night,  cavalry  pickets  assemble  mounted* 


62  GRAND   GUARDS. 

589.  Pickets  rejoin  their  companies  whenever  the  regiment  is  under 
arms  for  review,  drill,  march,  or  battle. 

GRAND   GUARDS   AND   OTHER   OUTPOSTS. 

590.  Grand  guards  are  the  advanced  posts  of  a  camp  or  cantonment, 
and  should  cover  the  approaches  to  it.  Their  number,  strength  and 
position  are  regulated  by  the  commanders  of  brigades  ;  in  detached 
corps,  by  the  commanding  officer.  When  it  "can  be,  the  grand  guards 
of  cavalry  and  inlantry  are  combined,  the  cavalry  furnishing  the  ad- 
vanced sentinels.  When  the  cavalry  is  weak,  the  grand  guards  are  in- 
fantry, but  furnished  with  a  few  cavalry  soldiers,  to  get  ami  carry  in- 
telligence of  the  enemy. 

591.  The  strength  of  a  grand  guard  of  a  brigade  will  depend  on  its 
object  and  the  strength  of  the  regiments,  the  nature  of  the  country,  the 
position  of  the  enemy,  and  the  disposition  of  the  inhabitants.  It  is 
usually  commanded  by  a  Captain.. 

592.  Under  the  supervisions  of  the  Generals  of  Division  and  Brigade, 
the  grand  guards  are  specially  under  the  direction  of  a  field  ofticer  of 
the  day  in  each  brigade.  In  case  of  necessity,  Captains  may  be  added 
to  the  roster  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and  Majors  for  this  detail. 

593.  Staff  officers  sent  from  division  headquarters  to  inspect  the  posts 
of  grand  guards,  give  them  orders  only  in  urgent  cases,  and  in  the  ab- 
sence of  the  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade. 

594.  Grand'  guards  usually  mount  at  the  tame  time  as  the  other 
guards,  but  may  mount  before  daybreak  if  the  General  of  Brigade 
thinks  it  necessary  to  double  the  outposts  at  that  time.  In  this. case 
they  assemble  and  march  without  noise,  and  during  their  march  throw 
out  scouts;  this  precaution  should  always  be  taken  in  the  first  posting 
of  a  grand  guard.  The  doubling  of  guards  weakens  the  corps  and 
fatigues  the  men,  and  should  seldom  he  resorted  to,  and  never  when 
preparing  to  march  or  fight. 

595.  A  grand  guard  is  conducted  to  its  post,  in  the  firet  instance,  by 
the  field  officer  of  the  day,  guided  by  a  staff  officer  who  accompanied 
the  General  in  his  reconnoissance.  After  the  post  has  been  established, 
the  commander  sends  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  when  necessary,  a 
soldier  of  the  guard  to  guide  the  relieving  guard  to  the  post.  lie  also 
sends  to  him  in  the  evening  a  Corporal  or  trusty  man  of  the  guard  for 
the  note  containing  the  parole  and  countersign,  and  sends,  them  before 
dark  to  the  detached  posts.  He  will  not  suffer  his  guard  to  be  relieved 
except  by  a  guard  of  the  brigade,  or  by  special  orders. 

596'.  If  there  \s  no  pass  to  be  observed  or  defended,  the  grand  guards 
are  placed  near  the  centre  of  thejgronnd  they  are  to  observe,  on  shel- 
tered, and,  if  possible,  high  ground,  the  better  to  conceal  their  strength 
and  observe  the  enemy  ;  they  ought  not  to.  be  placed  near  the  edge  of  a 
wood.  When,  during  the  day,  they  are  placed  very  near  or  in  sight  of- 
the  enemy,  they  fall  back  at  night  on  posts  selected  farther  to  the  rear. 

597.  In  broken  or  in  mountainous  countries,  and  particularly  if  the 
inhabitants  are  ill-disposed,  intermediate  posts  must  be  established 
when  it  is  necessary  to  post  the  grand  guard  distant  from  the  camp. 

598.  Grand  guards  are  chiefly  to  watch  the  enemy  in  front;  their 
flanks  are  protected  by  .each  other,  and  the  camps  must  furnish  posts  to 
protect  their  rear  and  secure  their  retreat. 


CHAM)  guards'.  83 

•599.  Grand  guards  are  seldom  intrenched,  and  never  without  the 
orders  if  the  General,  except  by  a  barricade  or  ditch,  when  exposed  in 
a  plain  to  attacks  of  cavalry. 

GOO.  The  General  of  Division,  if  he  thinks  proper,  changes  the  sta- 
tions and  orders  of  these  guards,  and  establishes  posts  to  connect  the 
'brigades  or  protect  the  exterior  Banks. 

GO  t.  After  a  grand  guard  is  posted,  the  first  care  of  the  commander 
and  of  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  is  to  get  news  of  the  enemy ;  then  to 
reconnoitre  his  position,  and  the  roads,  bridges,  fords,  and  defil^: 
This  reoonnoisanco  determines  the  force  and  position  of  the  small  posts 
and  their  sentinels  day  and  bight,.  These  posts,  according  to  their  im- 
portance, are  commanded  by  officers  or  non-commissioned  officers  ;  the 
cavalry  posts  may  Ik?  relieved  every  four  or  eight  hours. 

G02.  The  commander  of  a  grain!  guard  receives  detailed  instructions 
from  the  General  and  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade,  and  in- 
structs the  commanders  of  the  B/nall  posts  as  to  their  duties  and  the  ar- 
rangements for  the  defence  or  retreat.  The  Commanders  of  grand 
guards  may,  in  urgent  cases,  change  the  p<  sitions  of  the  small  posts. 
If  the  small  posts  are  to  change  their  positions  at  night,  they  wait  until 
the  grand  guav'd  have  got  into  position,  and  darkness  hides  their  move- 
ments from  the  enemy;  then  march  silently  and  rapidly  under  the 
charge  of  an  officer. 

603.  Iu  detached  corps,  small  posts  of  pi  eked  men  are  at  night  sent 
forward  on  the  roads  bv  which  the  enemy  may  attack  or  turn  the  posi- 
tion. They  watch  the  forks  of  the  roads,  keep  silence,  conceal  them- 
selves, light  no  fires,  and  often  change  place.  They  announce  the  ap- 
proach of  the  enemy  hy  signals  agreed  upon,,  and  retreat  by  routes  ex-  . 
amined  during  the  day,  to  places  selected,  and  rejoin  the  guard  at  day- ' 
break. 

604.  Grand  guards  have  special  orders  in  each  case,  and  the  follow- 
ing in  all  cases  :  to  inform  the  nearest  posts  and  tne  field  officer  of  the 
day,  or  the  General  of  Brigade,  of  the  march  and  movements'  of  the 
enemy,  and  of  the  attacks  they  receive  or  fear;«*o  examine  every  per- 
son passing  near  the  post,  particularly  those  coming  from  without;  to 
arrest  suspicious  persons,  and  all  soldiers  and  camp  followers  who  try 
t>  pa*8nut  without  permission,  and  to  Bend-to  the  General,  unless  other- 
Wise  directed,  all  country  people  who  Rome  in, 

i.   All  out  guards  stand  to  arms  at  night  on  the  approach  of  pat- 
rol*, rounds,  gr  other  parties;  the  sentinel  over  the  arms  has  orders  to 

I  hem  out. 

•     will  not  take  arms  for  inspection*  or  ceremony 
when  it  would  expose  them  to  the  view  id' the  enemy. 

607.  Grand  guards  are  often  charged  with  the  care  and  working  of 
telegraphic  signals.  ,  . 

608.  The  sentinels  and  videttes  are  placed  on  points  from  which  they 
can  see  farthest,  taking  care  nut  to  break  their  connection  with  each 
other  or  with  their  posts.     They  are  |  from  the  enemy  as  much 

tsible  by  walls,  or  trees,  nr  elevated  ground.     It  is  generally  even 

of  01  ire  advantage  n  >t  to  he  seen  than  to  see  far.  They  should*  not  be 
placed  near  covers,  where  the  enemy  may  capture  them. 

v   to    fire,  videttes    carry  their 
pistols   or  carbines   in  their  hands,     A  sentinel  must   be   sure  of   the 


64  hRAM)    Ul'ARDS.       • 

presence  of  an  enemy  before  he  fires;  once  satisfied  of  that,  he  must 
fire,  though  all  defence  on  his  part  be  useless,  as  the  safety  of  the  post 
may  depend  on  it.     Sentinels  fire  on  all  persons  deserting  to  the  enemy. 

610.  If  the  post  must  be  where  a  sentinel  on  it  can  not  communicate 
■with  the  guard,  a  corporal  and  three  men  are  detached  for  it,  or  the 
sentinels  are  doubled,  that  one  may  communicate  with  the  guard. 
During  the  day  the  communication  may  be  made  by  signals,  such  as 
raising  a  cap  or  handkerchief.  At  night  sentinels  are  placed  on  low 
gl^nind,  the  better  to  see  objects  against  the  sky. 

Gil.  To  lessen  the  duty  of  rounds,  and  keep  more  men  on  the  alert 
at  night,  sentinels  are  relieved  every  hour.  To  prevent  sentinels  from 
being  surprised,  it  is  sometimes  well  to  precede  the  countersign  by.  sig- 
nals,-such  as  striking  the  musket  with  the  hand,  striking  the  hands  to- 
gether, &.c. 

612.  On  the  opproach  of  any  one  at  night,  the  sentinel  orders — 
"  Halt!  "  If  the  order  is  not  obeyed  after  once  repeated,  he  fires.  If 
obeyed,  he  calls — "  Who  goes  there?  If  answered — "Bounds"  or 
"  Patrol,"  he  says — "Advance  with  the  countersign."  If  more  than  one 
advance  at  the  same  time,  or  the  person  who  advances  fails  to  give  the 
countersign  or  signal  agreed  on,  the  sentinel  fires,  and  falls  back  on  his 
guard.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms,  as  soon  as  his  hail  is  answered, 
turns  out  the  guard,  and  the  corporal  goes  to  reconnoitre.  When  it  is 
desirable  to  hide  the  position  of  the  sentinel  from  the  enemy,  the  hail 
is  replaced  by  signals  ;  the  sentinel  gives  the  signal,  and  those  approach- 
ing the  counter  signal. 

613.  With  raw  troops,  or  when  the  light  troops  of  the  enemy  are  nu- 
merous or  active,  and  when  the  country  is  broken  or  wooded,  the  night 
stormy  or  dark,  sentinels  should  be  doubled.  In  this  case,  while  one 
watches,  the  other,  called  a  dying  sentinel,  moves  about,  examining  the 
paths  and  hollows. 

614.  Tne  commandants  of  grand  guards  visit  the  sentinels  often  ; 
change  their  positions  when  neeessar\  ;  make  them  repeat  their  orders; 
teach  them  under  what  circumstances  and  at  what  signals  to  retire,  and 
particularly  not  to  fall  back  directly  oh  their  guard  if  pursued,  but  to 
lead  the  enemy  in  a  circuit. 

615.  At  night,  half  the  men  of  the  grand  guard  off  post  watch  under 
arms,  while  the  rest  lie  down,  arms  by  their  side.  The  horses  are  al- 
ways bridled  ;  the  horsemen  hold  the  reins,  and  must  not  sleep. 

616.  When  a  grand  guard  of  cavalry  is  so  placed  as  not  to  be  liable 
to  a  sudden  attack  from  the  enemy,  the  General  may  permit  the  horses 
to  be  fed  during  the  night,  unbridling  for  this  purpose  a  few  at  a  time 
— the  horsemen  being  vigilant  to  prevent  them  from  escaping. 

617.  An  hour  before  break  of  davr,  infantry  grand  guards  stand  to 
arms,  and  cavalry  mount.  At  the  advanced  posts,  some  or'  the  infantry 
are  all  night  u rider  arms,  some  of  the  cavalry  on  horseback.   ■ 

618.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  regulates  the  numbers,  the 
hours,  and  the  march  of  patrol*  and  rounds,  according  to  tha  strength 
of  his  troop  and  the  necessity  for.  precaution  ;  and,  accompanied  by 
those  who  are  to  command  the  patrols  and  rounds  during  the  night,  ho 
will  reconnoitre  all  the  route  they  are  to  follow. 

619.  Patrols  and  rounds  march  slowly,  in  silence,  and  with  great 
precaution  ;  halt  frequently  to  listen,  and  examine  the  ground.     The 


©RAND   ROUNDS.  65 

rounds  consist  of  an  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer,  and  two  or  three 
men. 

620.  Toward  the  break  of  day  the  patrols  ought  to  he  more  frequent, 
and  sent  to  greater  distances.  They  examine  the  hollow-ways,  and 
ground  likely  to  conceal  an  enemy,  hut  with  great,  caution,  to  avoid  be- 
ing cut  off,  or  engaged  in  an  unequal  combat ;  if  they  meet  the  enemy, 
they  fire  and  Attempt  to  stop  his  march.  While  the  patrols  are  out  tho 
posts  arc  under  arms. 

•  621.  Cavalry  patrols  should  examine  the  country  to  a  greater  distance 
than  infantry,  and  report  to  the  infantry  guard  every  thing  they  observe. 
The  morning  patrols  and  scouts  do  not  return  until  broad  daylight; 
and  when  they  return,  tho  night  sentinels  are  withdiawn,  and  the  posts 
for  the.  day  resumed. 

622.  When  patrols  are  sent  beyond  the  advanced  posts,  the  posts  and 
sentinels  should  be  warned. 

623.  On  their  return,  commanders  of  patrols  report  in  regard  to  tho 
ground  and  every  thing  they  have  observed  of  the  movements  of  tho 
enemy,  or  of  his  posts,  and  the  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  reports 
to  the  field  officer  of  the  day. 

624.  Tho  tires  of  the  grand  guards  should  he  hidden  by  a  wall,  or 
ditch,  or  other  screen.  To  deceive  the  enemy,  fires  are  sometimes  made 
en  ground  not  occupied.  Fires  are  not  permitted  at  small  posts- liable 
to  surprise. 

625.  The  horses  of  cavalry  guards  are  watered  or  fed  by  detachments  ; 
during  which  the  rest  are  ready  to  mount. 

626.  If  a  body  of  troops  attempt  to  enter  the  camp  at  night,  unless 
their  arrival  has  been  announced,  or  the  commander  is  known  to,  or  is 
the  bearer  of  a  written  order  to  the  commander  of  the  grand  guards, 
he  stops  them,  and  sends  the  commander  under  escort  to  the  field  officer 
of  the  Jay,  and  warns  the  post  near  him. 

627.  Bearers  of  Hags  are  not  permitted  to  pass  the  outer  chain  of  sen- 
tinels :  their  faces  are  turned  from  tlu?  post  of  army  ;  if  necessary  their 
eyes  are  bandaged;  a  non  commissioned  officer  stays  with  them  to  pre- 
vent indiscretion  of  the  sentinels. 

628.  The  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  receipts  for  dispatches,  and 
Rends  them  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day  or  General  of  Brigade,  and  dis- 
misses the  hearer;  hut  if  he  has  discovered  what  ought  to  be  concealed 
from  the  enemy,  he  is  detained  as  long  as  necessary. 

Deserters  are  disarmed  at  the  advanced  posts,  and  sent  to  the- 
commander  of  the  grand  guard,  who  gets  from  them  all  the  information- 
he  can  concerning  bis  post.  If  many  come  at  night  they  are  received 
cautiously,  a  ftp  at  u  time.  They  are  sent  in  the  morni  ig  to  the  field 
officer  of  the  day,  or  Co  the  nearest  post  or  samp,  to  be  conducted  to  tho 
ral  of  the  brigade.  All  suspected  persons  are  searched  by  com- 
manders of  the  posts.  • 

■  When  an  enemy  advances  to  an  attack,  unless  he  is  in  too  great 
force,  or  the  grand  guard  is  to  defend  an  intrenched  post  or  n  defile,  it 
will  take  position,  and  execute  the  movements  to  check  the  enemy,  Bal- 
ing as  skirmishers,  or  fighting  in  close  or  open  order,  as  may  be  best. 
The  guard  joins  its  corps  when  in  line,  or  when  a  sufficient  number  of 
troops  have  reached  the  ground  it  defends, 


66  ENTRENCHED  POSTS — DETACHMENTS. 

'         ENTRENCHED    POSTS, 

631.  Unless  the  army  be  acting  on  tlie  defensive,  no  post  should-  be 
intrenched,  except  t>  -cover  the  weak  parts  of  the  line,  or  at  points 
Vhich  the  enemy  cannot  avoid,  or  in  mountain  -warfare,  or  to  the  close 
of  a  defile,  or  to  cover  winter  quarters. 

632.  Posts  connected  with  the  operations  of-an  army  are  intrenched 
only  by  order  of  the  General  commanding  in  chief  or  a  General  of  Di- 
vision. -^ 

633.  Any  intrenchment  that  requires  artillery,  is  considered  as  a  post, 
and  a  guard  or  garrison  and  commander  are  assigned  to  it. 

634.  The  General  who  establishes  an  intrenched  post  gives  to  its  com- 
mander detailed  instructions  in  regard  to  its  defence,  and  the  circum- 
stances under  which  the  defence  should  cease. 

635.  The  commander  reconnoiters  his  post;  distributes  the  troops; 
posts  the  officers  and  noncommissioned  officers  ;  forms  a  reserve  ;  gives 
orders  for  all  contingencies  he  can  foresee;  supposes  an  attack,  and  ar- 
ranges his  troops  for  defence,  so  as  to  prepare  them  for  an  attack,  day  or 
night. 

636.  In  dark  weather  he  redoubles  his  vigilance,  and  changes  the 
hours  and  dfrection  of  the  rounds  and  parols.  Ho  permits  no  flags  of 
truce,  deserters  or  strangers  to  enter.  If  a  flag  ought  to  pass  his  post, 
he  bandages  his  eyes  He  refuses  admittance  to  a  relief  or  any  other 
party  until  he  has  carefully  examined  them.  In  case  of  an  attack,  he 
does  not  wait  for  orders  or  bold  a  council.  Having  defended  his  post 
to  the  last  extremity,  or  till  the  purpose  of  the  defence,  according  to  his 
instructions,  is  answered,  he  may  then  spike  his  guns  and  rejoin  the 
army  under  cover  of  night,  or  by  cutting  his  way  through  the  eueiny. 

DETACHMENTS. 

* 

637.  When  adetachmept  is  to  be  formed  from  the  different  regiments 
of  a  brigade,  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General  of  the  brigade  assembles' 
it,  and  turns  it  over  to  the  commander. 

638.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  different  brigades,  the 
Assistant  Adjutant  General  in  each,  forms  the  contingent  of  the  brigade, 
and  sends  it  to  the  place  of  assembling. 

639.  Detachments  are  generally  formed  by  taking  battalions,  squad- 
rons, companies,  platoons  in  turn,  according  to  the  roster  for  such 
detail. 

640.  When  the  detachment  is  to  consist  of  men  from  every  company 
or  troop,  the  first  on  the  roster  for  guard  are  taken. 

641.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers,  whose  ^pur  it  is 
to  go  on  detachment,  if  employed  otherwise  at  the  time,  are  relieved 
from  the  duty  they  are  on,  if  they  can  reach  the  camp  in  time  to  march 
with  the  detachment. 

642.  When  detachments  meet,  the  command  ia  regulated  while  they 
serve  together  as  if  they  formed  one  detachment.  But  the  senior  officers 
cannot  prevent  the  commander  of  any  detachment  from  moving,  when 
he  thinks  proper,  to  execute  the  orders  he  has  received. 

643.  On  the  return  of  a  detachment,  the  commander  reports  to  the 
headquarters  from  which  he  received  his  orders. 


RECONNOISANCES — PARTISAN3    AND     FLANKERS.  G7 

RECONNOISANCES. 

644.  Near  an   enemy,  daily  reconnoisances  are  made  to  observe  tlic 

ground  in  front,  and  to  ilisoover  whether  the  advanced  guards  of  the 
enemy  have  been  increased  or  put  in  motion,  or  any  other  sign  of  his 
preparation  for  march  or  action. 

G45.  They  are  made  l>y  small  parties  of  cavalry  and  infantry,  from 
the  hrigade,  under  the  direction  of  the  General  of  Division  <  r  the  General 
of  a  Be  par  ate  brigade,  and  to  less  distance  by  the  pastoral  of  the  grand 
guard,  and  are  not  repeated  at  the  same  hour  or  by  the  same  route.  On 
the  plain,  reconnoisances  a:e  made  by  cavalry  ;  among  mountains,  hy 
infantry,  with  a  few  horsemen  to  carry  intelligence. 

040.  Reconnoiterisg  parties  observe  the  following  precautions  :  to 
leave  small  posts,  or  sentinels  at  intervals,  to  transmit  intelligence  to 
the  advanced  posts  of  aw  army,  unless  the  return  is  to  lie  by  a  different 
route  :  to  march  with  caution,  to  avoid  fighting:  and  see,  if  possible, 
without  being  seen  ;  to  keep  an  advanced  guard  ;  to  Bend  well  mounted 
men  ahead  of  the  advanced  guard;  and  on  the  (lank  of  the  party;  to 
instruct  the  scouts  that  no  two  should  enter  a  defile  or  mount  a  bill  to- 
gether, but  to  gQ  one  at  a  time,,  while  one  watches  to  carry  the  news  if 
the  other  is  taken. 

017.  Before  daybreak  the  advanced  guard  and  scouts  are  drawn 
closer  :  the  party  then  march  slowly  ami  silently,  stop  frequently  to 
listen,  and  keep  the  horses  that  neigh  in  the  rear.  The  party  should 
ent<  r  no  wood,  defile,  village,  or  inclosure,  until  it  has  been  fully  ex- 
amined by  the. scouts. 

648.  Special  reconnoisances  are  made  under  the  instruction  of  tlte 
Geueral  in  command,  by  such  officers  and  with  such  force  r.s  he  may 
direct. 

649.  Offensive  or  foroed  reconnoisances  are  to  ascertain  with  certainty 
points  in  the  enemy's  position,  or  his  strength.  They  an*  sometime* 
preludes  to  real  actions,  and  sometimes  only  demonstrations.  They 
drive  in  his  outposts,  and  sometimes  engage  special  corps  of  his  line. 
They  are  only   made    by  order  of  the   General   eoniuiandiiig-iu-chief,  or 

minanderof  an  isolated  corps. 

650.  In  all  repott$  of  reconnoisances,  the  officer  making  them  shall 
distinguish  expressly  what  he  has  seen  from  the  accounts  he  has  not 
beer i  aid'-  to  verily  personally. 

651.  In  special  and  offensive  reconnoisances,  the  report  must  be  ac- 
companied hv  a  field  ,-keti  h  of  the  localities,  the  dispositions  and  defen- 
ces of  the  enemy. 

PARTISANS    AND    rLANKERS. 

>'.'<-.  "i ":■. •■  operations  of  partisan -corps  depend  on  the  nnture  and 
theatre  of  the  war;  they  enter  into  the  general  plan  of  operations,  and 
are  C'lidin-teil  under  the  orders  of  tin1  General  commundmg-in-chief. 

.  The  composition  and  strength  of  partisan  corps  and  detachment 
of  Hankers  depend  on    th>  the  difficulties,  the  distance,  and  the 

probable  time  of  the  expedition.

his  posts  and  his  convoys,  or,  at  all  events,  to  retard  his  march  by 
making  him  detach  largely  for  their  protection. 

655.  While  these  corps  fatigue  the  enemy  and  embarrass  his  opera- 
tions, they  endeavor  to  inspire  confidence  and  secure  the  good  will  of 
the  inhabitants  in  a  friendly  county,  and  to  hold  them  in  check  in  an 
enemy's  country. 

656.  They  move  actively,  appear  unexpectedly  on  different  points,  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  make  it  impossible  to  estimate  their  force,  or  to 
tell  whether  they  are  irregular  forces  or  an  advanced  guard. 

657.  These  operations  require  vigilance,  secrcsy,  energy,  and  prompt- 
ness. The  partisan  commander  must  frequently  supply  by  stratagem 
and  audacity  what  he  wants  in  numbers. 

658.  These  detachments  ate  sometimes  composed  of  different  arms, 
but  the  service  belongs  more  particularly  to  the  light  cavalry,  which 
can  move  to  a  distance  by  rapid  marches,  surprise  the  enemy*  attack 
unexpectedly,  and  retire  as  promptly. 

659.  Stormy  weather,  fogs,  extreme  heat,  and  the  night  above  all, 
are  favorable  to  the  success  of  ambuscades:  when  the  enemy  are  care- 
less, the  break  of  day  is  the  best  time.  A  partisan  commander  should 
communicate  to  his  second  in  command,  his  secret  order*,  the  direction 
and  object  of  the  expedition,  and  the  different  points  of  junction  with 
the  army. 

660.  Guides  of  the  country  and  spies  are  often  necessary  to  the  parti- 
san. They  are  examined  separately,  and  confronted  if  their  accounts 
differ.  When  »here is  but  one  guide,  he  marches  with  the  advanced 
guard,  guarded  by  two  men,  and  bound  if  necessary.  Peddlers  and 
smugglers  are  specially  suitable  for  spies. 

661.  A  fit  time  to  attack  a  convoy  is  at  a  halt,  or  when  they  begin  to 
park,  or  when  they  are  watering,  passing  a  wood  or  a  defile ;  at  a  bend 
of  the^oad,  a,  bridge  or  steep  ascent. 

662.  The  attacking  party  may  be  principally  cavalry,  with  some  in- 
fantry. The  first  object  is  to  disperse  the'escort.  A  part  of  the  de- 
tachment attacks  the  main  body  of  the  escort,  another  the  wagons,  and 
a  third  is  in  reserve  ;  skirmishers  line  the  road,  and  try  to  cut  the 
traces,  and  to.  seize  the  front  and  rear  wagons,  and  turn  them  across  tho 
road,  to  prevent  the  train  from  advancing  or  retreating." 

663.  If  the  convoy  is  parked,  the  cavalry  surrounds  it,  assails  the  es- 
cort, and  tries  to  draw  it  away  from  the  train.  The  infantry  then  en- 
gage the  troons  remaining  at  the  park,  slip  under  the  wagons,  and  get 
into  the  park.  When  die  cavalry  is  alone  and  the  enemy  are  shaken, 
they  dismount  a  portion  of  the  men  to  supply  the  want  of  infantry. 

6G4.  If  it  is  a  ] urge  convoy,  the  principal  attack  is  made  on  the  cen- 
tre;  the  most  valuable  wagons  are  also  selected  and  additional  horses 
nre  put  to  them  if  the  attack  is  successful.  Those  that  cannot  bo  car- 
ried off  are  burned. 


665.  The  object  of  the  movement  and  the  nature  of  the  ground  deter, 
mine  the  order  of  march,  the  kind  of  troops  in  each  column,  and  the 
number  of  columns. 

666.  The  force  is  divided  into  as  many  columns  as  circumstances  per- 
mit, without   weakening   any  one  too  muah.     Thoy  ouglit  to  preserve

their  communications,  find  bo  within  supporting  distance  of  each  other. 
The  commander  of  each  column  ought  to  know  the  strength  and  direc- 
tion of  the  others. 

067.  The  advance  and  rear  guards  are  usually  light  troops';  their 
Strength  and  composition  depend  mi  the  nature  of  the  ground  and  the 
position  of  the  enemy.  They  serve  to  cover  the  movements  of  the 
army,  &nd  to  Uold  the  enemy  in  cheek  until  the  General  lias  time  to 
make  ln>  arrangements. 

668.  Toe  advance  guard  is  not  always  at  the  head  of  a  column  ;  in  a 
march  ta  u  Hank,  it  takes  such  positions  as  cover  the  movement.  "Sup- 
pers are  attached  to  the  advanced  guard  if  required, 

669.  The  "general,"  sounded  one  hour  before  the  time  of  marching, 
is  the  signal  to  strike  tents,  to  load  the  wagons,  and  pack  horses,  and 
send  them  to  the  place  of  assembling.  The  tires  are  then  put  out,  and 
care  taken  to  avoid  burning  straw,  &C.,  or  giving  to  the  enemy  any 
other  indication  of  the  movement. 

670.  The  "  march"  will  he  beat  in  the  infantry,  and  tho  "  advance" 
sounded  in  the  cavalry,  in  succession,  ns  each  is  to  take  it*  place  in  the 
column. 

671.  When  the  army  should  form  suddenly  to  meet  the  enemy,  the 
"  long  roll1'  is  beat,  and  "  to  horse"  sounded.  The  troops  form  rapidly 
in  front  of  their  camp. 

072.  Batteries  of  artillery  and  their  caissons  move  with  the  corps  to 
which  they  are  attached  ;  the  field  train  and  ambulances  march  at  the 
rear  of  the  column  ;   and  the  baggage  with  the  rear  guard. 

073.  Cavalry  and  infantry  do  not  inarch  together,  unless  the  prox- 
rhiity  of  the  enemy  makes  it  necessary. 

074.  In  cavalry  marches,  when  distant  from  the  enemy,  each  regi- 
ment, and,  if  possible,  each  squadron,  forms  a  separate  column,  in  order 
to  keep  up  the  same  gait  from  front  to  rear,  and  to  trot,  when  desirable, 
on  good  ground.  In  such  cases,  the  cavairy  may  leave  camp  later,  and 
can  give  more  rest  to  the  horses,  and  more  attention  to  the  shoeing  and 
harness.     Horses  are  not  bridled  until  the  time  to  start. 

G75.  When  necessary,  the  orders  specify  the  rations  the  men  are  to 
carry  in  their  haversacks.  The  field  officers  and  Captains  make  inspec- 
tions frequently  during  the  march  ;  at  halts  they  examine  the  knap- 
sacks, valines  and  haversacks,  and  throw  away  all  articles  not  author* 
The  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  of  cavalry  companies 
attend  |  ersonally  to  the  packs  and  girths. 

676.  When  it  can  be  avoided,  trotipfi  Should  not  be  assembled  on  high 
roads  or  other  places  where  they   interrupt  the  communication. 

i.77.  Generals  of  Divisions  and  commanders  of  detached  corps  send  :v 
staff  officer  to  the  rendezvous  in  advance,  to  receive  the  troops,  who, 
on  arriving,  take  their  place  in  the  order  i  f  battle,  and  form  in  close 
column,  unless   otherwise  ordered.     Artillery,  or  trams  halted  ob  the 

roads,  form  in  file  on  one  side. 

iution  <if  marching  orders  must  not  be  delayed.  If  tho 
commander  is  not  at  the  head  of  his  troops  when  they  are  to  march,  tho 
next  in  rank  puts  the  column   in  motion. 

679.  It  possible,  each  column  is  preceded  by  a  detachment  of  sappers, 
to  remove  obstacles  to  tho  march,  aided,  when  necessary,  by  infantry, 
or  tho  pcoplo  of  the  country.     The  detachment  is  divided  into  two  sec- 


"0  MARCHES. 

ti  >ns  :  one  stops  to  remove  the  first  obstacle,  the  other  moves  on  to  the 
next.  . 

680*.  In  night  marches,  and  at  bad  places,  and  at  cross-roads,  when 
necessary,  intelligent  non-commissioned  officer's  are  posted  to  show  the 
way,  "and  are  relieved  by  the  regiments  as  they  come  up. 

681.  On  the  march,  no  one  shall  lire  a  gun,  or  cry  "  halt"  or  "  march," 
without  orders. 

682.  Soldiers,  are  not  to  stop  for  water;  the  canteens  should  be  tilled 
before  starting. 

683  It  is  better  to  avoid  villages  ;  but  if  the  route  lies  through  them, 
officers  and  noncommissioned  officers  are  to  be  vigilant  to  prevent 
Straggling"     Halts  should  not  take  place  at  villages. 

684.  Besides  the  rear  guard,  the  General  sometimes  takes  a  detach- 
ment from  the  last  regiment,  and  adds  to  it  non-commissioned  officers 
from  each  regiment,  to  examine  villages  and  all  hiding-places  on  the 
route,  to  bring  up  stragglers  and  seize  marauders. 

685.  In  ni^ht  marches,  the  Sergeant- Major  of  each  regiment  remains. 
at  the  rear  with  a  drummer,  to  give  notice  when  darkness  or  difficulty 
stops  the  march.  In  cavalry,  a  trumpet  is  placed  in  rear  of  each 
sqtfadron,  and  the  signal  repeated  to  the  head  of  the  regiment. 

686.  The  General  and  field  officers  frequently  sfibp,  or  send  officers  to 
the  rear,  to  see  that  the  troops  march  in  the  prescribed  order,  and  keep 
their  distances.  To  quicken  the  march,  the  General  warns  the  Colo- 
nels, and  may  order  a  signal  to  be  beat.  It  is  repeated  in  all  the  regi- 
ments. 

687.  In  approaching  a  defile,  the  Colonels  are  warned  ;  they  close 
their  regiments  as  they. come  up  ;  each  regiment  passes  separately,  at  an 
accelerated  pace,  and  in*  as  close  or'der  as  possible.  The  leading  regi-# 
ment  having  passed.,  and  left  room  enough  for  the  whole  column  in 
close  order,  then  halts,  and  moves  again  as  soon  as  the  last  regiment  is 
through,  In  the  cavalry,  each  squadron,  before  quickening  the  pace  to 
rejoin  the  column,  takes  its  original  order  of  march. 

688.  When  the  distance  from  the  enemy  permits,  each  regiment, 
after  closing  up  in  front  and  rear  of  the  defile,  stacks  arms. 

•  689:  Halts  to  rest  and  re-form  the  troi  ps  are  frequent  during  the 
day,  depending  bn  the  object  and  length  of  the  march.  .  They  are  mado 
in  preference  after  the  passage  of  defiles. 

690'  No  honors  are  paid  by  troops  on  the  march  or  at  halts. 

681.  The  sick  march  with  the  wagons. 

692.  Led  horses  of  officers,  and  the  horses  of  dismounted  men,  follow 
their  regiment.  The  baggage  wagons  never  march  in  the  column. 
When  the  General  orders  the  field  train  and  ambulances  to  take  place 
in  the  column^  he  designates  the  position  they  shall  take. 

C93.  If  two  corps  meet  on  the  same  road,  they  p;tss  to  the  right,  and 
both  continue  their  march,  if  the  road  is  wide  enough  ;  if  it  is  not,  the 
first  in  the  order- of  buttle  takes  the  road,  the  other  halts. 

■69-t.  A  corps  in  march  must  not  be  cut  by  another.  If  two  corps 
meet  at  cross  roads,  that  which  arrives  last  halts  if  the  other  is  in  mo- 
tion. A  corps  in  march  passes  a  corps  at  a  halt,  if  it  has  precedence 
in  the  order  of  battle,  or  if  the  halted  corps  is  not  ready  to  move  at 
onee. 

695.  A  column   that  halts  to  let    another  column   pass   resumes  the 


BATTLES.  71 

march  in  advance  of  the  train  of  this  column.    If  a  column  has  to  pass 
a  train,  the  train  must  halt,  if  necessary,  till  the  column  passes.     Tho 

column  which  has  precedence  must  yield  it  if   the  commander,  on  seeing 
the  orders  of  the  other,  finds  it  for  the  interest  of  the  service. 

BATTLES. 

006.  Dispositions  for  battle  depend  on  the  number,  kind,  and  quality 
of  the  troops  opposed,  on  the  ground,  and  on  the  objects  of  the  war; 
but- the  following  rules  are  to  be  observed  generally: 

697i  In  attacking,  the  advanced  guard  endeavors  to  capture  the  eno- 
mj's  outposts,  or  cut  them  off  from  the  main  body,  [laving  done  so, 
or  driven  them  in,  it  occupies,  in  advancing,  all  the  points  tffat  can 
cover  or  facilitate  the  march  of  the  army  or  secure  its  retreat,  such  as 
bridges,  defiles,  woods  and  heights  ;  it  then  makes  attacks,  to  occupy 
the  enemy,  without  risking  too  much,  and  to  deceive  thenl  as  to  the 
march  and  projects  of  the  army. 

698.  When  the  enemy  is  hidden  by  a  curtain  of  advanced  troops,  tho 
Commandant  of  the  advanced  guard  sends  scouts,  under  intelligent  offi- 
cers, to  the  right  and  left,  to  Ascertain  h  6  position  and  movements.  If 
he  does  not  succeed  in  this  way,  he  tries  to  unmask  the  enemy  by  de- 
monstrations ;  threatens  to  cut  the  advance  from  the  main  body  ;  makes 
false  attacks  ;  partial  and  impetuous  charges  in  echelon;  and  if  all 
fail,  he  makes  a  real  attack  to  accomplish  the  object. 

699".  Detachments  left  by  the  advanced  guard  to  hold  points  in  tbo 
rear,  rejoin  it  when  other  troops  come  up.  If  the  army  takes  a  posi- 
tion, and  the  advanced  guard  is  separated  from  it  by  defiles  or  heights, 
the  communication  is  secured  by  troops  drawn  from  the  main  body. 

7U0.   At  proper  distance  from    the   enemy,   the  troops  are  formed  for 

the  attack  in  several  lines  ;  if  only  two  can  be  formed,  some  battalions 

in  column  are  placed  behind   the   wing-   of  the  second  line.     The  lines 

may  be  formed  of  troops  in  column   or   in   order  of  battle,  according  to 

iund  and  plan  of  attack. 

701.  The  advanced  guard  may  be  put  in  the  line  or  on  the  wings,  or 
other  position,  to  aid  the  pursuit  or  Outer  the  retreat. 

702.  The  reserve  is  formed  of  the  best'  troops  id'  foot  and  horse,  to 
complete  a  victory  or  make  good  a  retreat.     It  is   placed  in  the  rear  of 

itre,  or  chief  point  of  attack  or  defence. 

ilry  should  be  distributed  in  echelon  on  tho  wings  and 

tre,  on  favorable  ground. 

704   It   should    be   instructed   not    to   take   the    gallop  until  within 

charging  distance;  never  to  receive  a  charge   tit  a   bait,  but  to  meet  it, 

orj  if  not  strong  enough,   to  retire   manoeuvring  ;  and  in  order  to  bo 

for  the  pursuit,  and  prepared  against  a_reverse,  or  the  attacks  of 

the  reserve,  to  •  uadrdtos  at  once,   but  to  reserve  one 

third,  in  column  or  fn  abreast  of  or    in    the    rear  of  one  of  tho 

wings;   this  arrangement  is  better  than  a  second  line  with  intervals 

705,  In  the  attack,  the  artillery  is  employed  to  silence  the  batteries 
that  protect  the  po  ition.  In  the  defence,  it  is  better  to  direct  its  firo 
on  the  advancing  troi  ps.  In  eithex  •  i  -  are  united  as 
possible,  the  fire  of  artillery  being  formidable  in  proportion  to  its  con- 
centration.

offensive,  and  put  the  enemy  on  the  defensive;  but  to  bo  safe  in  doing 
ho  requires  a  larger  force  than  the  enemy,  or  better  troops,  and  favora- 
ble ground.  When  obliged  to  act  on  the  defensive,  the  advantage  of 
position  and  of  making  the  attack  ma}'  sometimes  be  secured  by  form- 
ing in  rear  of  the  ground  on  which  wo  are  to  fight,  and  advancing  at 
the  moment  of  action.  In  mountain  warfare,  the  assailant  has  always 
tlie  disadvantage  ;  and  even  in  offensive  warfare,  in  the  open  field,  it 
may  frequently  be  very  important,  when  tire  artillery  is  well  posted, 
and  any  advantage  of  the  ground  may  be  secured,  to  await  the  enemy 
and  compel  him  to  attack. 

707.  The  attack  should  be  made  with  a  superior  force  on  the  defen- 
sive point  of  the  enemy's  position,  by  masking  this  by  false  attacks  and 
demonstrations  on  other  points,  and  by  concealing  the  troops  intended 
for  it  by  the  ground  or  by  other  troops  in  the  front. 

708.  Besides  the  arrangements  which  depend  on  the  supposed  plan 
of  the  enemy,  the  wings  must  be  protected  by  the  ground,  or  supported 
by, troops  in  echelon  ;  if  the  attack  of  the  enemy  is  repulsed,  the  offen; 
sive  must  at  once  be  taken,  to  inspire  the  troops,  to  disconcert  the  ene- 
my, and  often  to  decide  the  action.  In  thus  taking  the  offensive,  a 
close  column  should  be  pushed  rapidly  on  the  wing  or  flank  of  the  en- 
emy. The  divisions  of  this  column  form  in  the  line  of  battle  succes- 
sively, and  each  division  moves  to  the  front  as  soon  as  formed,  in  order, 
by  a  rapid  attack  in  echelon,  to  prevent  the  erremy  from  changing  front 
or  bringing  up  his  reserves.  In  all  arrangements,  especially  in  thoso 
for  attacks,  it  is  most  important  to  conceal  the  design  until  the  moment 
of  execution,  and  then  to  execute  it  with  the  greatest  rapidity.  The 
night,  therefore,  is  preferred  for  the  movement  of  troops  on  the  flank 
or  rear  of  the  enemy,  otherwise  it  is  necessary  to  mask  their  march  by 
a  grand  movement  in  front,  or  by  taking  a  wide  circuit. 

709.  In  making  an  attack,  the  communications  to  the  rear  and  for  re- 
treat must  be  secured,  and  the  General  must  give  beforehand  all  neces- 
sary orders  to  provide  for  that  event. 

710.  When  a  success  is  gained,  the  light  troops  sho.uld  pursue  the 
enemy^promptly  and  rapidly.  The  other  troops  will  restore  order  in 
their  columns,  then  advance  from  position  to  position,  always  prepared 
for  an  attack  or  to  support  the  troops  engaged. 

711.  Before  the  action,  the  Generals  indicate  the  places  where  they 
will  be ;  if  they  change  position,  they  give  notice  of  rt,  or  leave  a  staff 
officer  to  show  where  they  have  gone. 

712.  During  the  fight  the  jofficers  and  non-commissioned  officers  keep 
4he  men  in  the  ranks,  and  enforce  obedience,  if  necessary.-  Soldiers 
must  not  be  permitted  to  leave  the  ranks  to  strip  or  rob  the  dead,  nor 
to  assist  the  wounded,  unless  by  express  permission,  which  is  only  to 
be  given  after  the  action  is  decided.  The  highest  interest  and  duty  is 
to  win  the  victory,  which  only  can  insure  proper  care  of  the  wounded. 

713.  Before  the  action,  the  Quartermaster  of  the  division  makes  all 
the  necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded.  He 
establishes  the  ambulance  depots  in  the  rear,  and  gives  his  assistants 
the  necessary  instruction  for  the  service  of  the  ambulance  wagons  and 
other  means  of  removing  the  wounded. 

714.  The  ambulance  depot  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  di- 
rected for  immediate  treatment,  is  generally  .established  at  the  most 


BATTLES — PRISONERS   OP   WAR.  73 

<%->nvenient  hoi-lding  nearest  the.  field  of  battle.  A  red  fag  marks  its 
place,  or  the  way  to  it,  to  tlio  conductors  of  the  ambulances  and  to  the 
wounded  who  can  walk. 

715.  The  active  ambulanoes  follow  the  troops  engaged  to  succor  the 
Wounded  and  remove  them  to  the  depots;  for  this  purpose  the  conduc- 
tors should  always  have  the  neeossary  assistants,  that  the  soldiers  may 
have  no  excuse  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  ohject. 

716.  .The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with  the 
Quartermaster  General,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospital 
attendants  at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  ami  active  ambulances,  lie 
will  send  offi.-ers  and  attendants  when  practicable.,  to  the  active  ambu- 
lances, to  relieve  the  wounded  who  require  treatment  before  being  re- 
move.! from  the  ground.  He  will  see  that  the  depots  and  ambulances 
are  provided  with  the  necessary  apparatus,  medicines  and  stores.  He 
will  take  post  and  render'his  professional  services  at  the  principal 
depots. 

717.  If  the  enemy  endanger  the  depot,  the  Quartermaster  takes  the 
ordo  s  of  the  General  to  remove  it  or  strengthen  its  guard. 

718.  The  wounded  in  the  depots  and  the  sick  are  removed  as  soon  as 
possible  to  the  hospitals  that  have  been  established  by  the  Quartermas- 
ter General  of  the  army  on  the  flanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

719.  After  an  action,  the  officers  on  ordnance  duty  collect  the  muni- 
tions of  war  left  on  the  field,  ami  make  a  return  of  them  to  the  General. 
The  Quartermaster's  Department  collects  the  rest  of  the  public  property, 
captured,  and  makes  the  returns  to  headquarters. 

720.  Written  reports  for  the  General  commanding-in  chief  are  made 
by  commandants  of  regiments,  batteries,  and  separate  squadrons,  and 
by  all  commanders  of  a  higher  grade,  each  in  what  coucerns  his  own 
command;  and  to  his  immediate  commander. 

7 2 L .  When  an  officer  or  soldier  deserves  mention  for  conduct  in  ac- 
tion, a  special  report  shall  be  made  in  iiis  ease,  and  the  General  com- 
Bianding-in-chief  decides  whether  to  mention  him  in  his  report  to  the 
government  and  in  his  orders.'  But  he  shall  not  be  mentioned  in  the 
report  until  he  has  Keen  mentioned  in  the  orders  to  the  array.  These 
special  reports  are  examined  with  care  by  the  intermediate  command- 
ers, to  verify  the  facts,  and  secure  commendation  and  rewards  to  the 
meritorious  only. 

722.  The  report  of  battles,  which  must  frequently  be  made  before 
these  special  reports  of  persons  are  scrutinized,  is  confined  to  general 
praise  or  blame,  and  nn  account  of  the  operations. 

PRISONERS    OF    WAR. 

723.  Prisoners  of  wnr  will  be  disarmed  and  sent  to  the  rear,  and  re- 
ported as  soon  as  practicable  to  the  headquarters.  The  return  of  pri- 
soners from  the  headquarters  of  the  Army  to  the  War  Department 
will  specify  the  number,  rank,  and  corps. 

•  724.  The  private  property  of  prisoners  will  be  duly  respected,  and 
each  shall  be  treated  with  the  regard  due  \f  his  rank.  They  are  to 
obey  the  necessary  orders  given  them.  They  receive  for  subsistence 
one  ration  each,  without  regard  to  rank;  and  the  wouuded  are  to  be 
treated  with  the  same  oare  as  the  wounded  of  the  army.  Other  allow-

ancea  to  them  will  "depend  on. conventions  with  the  enemy.     Prisoner's 
horses  will  be  taken  for  the  army. 

725.  Exchanges  of  prisoners  and  release  of  officers  on  parole  depend 
en  the  orders  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief,  under  the  instruc- 
tions of  government. 

CONVOYS    AND    THEIR   ESCORTS. 

726.  The  strength  and  composition  of  the  escort -of  a  convoy  depend 
on  the  country,  the  nature  and  value  of  the  convoy,  and  the  dangers  it 
may  incur.     A  large  escort  is  required  for  a  convoy  of  powder,  that- 
the  defence  may  not  be  near  the  train.  .  _  v 

727.  Cavalry  is  employed  in  escorts  chiefly  to  reconnoitre;  the  pro- 
portion is  larger  as  the  country  is  more  open. 

728.  Pioneers  or  working  parties  are  attached  to  convoys  to  mend 
roads,  remove  obstacles,  and  erect  defences.  The  convoys  should  always 
be  provided  with  spare  wheels,  poles,  axles,  &c. 

729.  The  commandant  of  the  escort  should  receive  detailed  instruc- 
tions in  writing. 

730.  As  far  as  the  defence  permits,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
shall  refer  to  the  offirer  in  charge  of  the  convoy  for  the  hours  of  depar- 
ture, the  halts,  the  parking  and  order  of  the  train,  and  the  precautions 
against  accidents. 

731.  Officers  who  accompany  the  convoy,  but  do  not  belong  to  the  es- 
cort, shall  exercise  no  authority  in  it  except  by  consent  of  the  comman- 
der. If  these  officers  are  junior  to  the  commander,  he  may  assign  them 
to  duty  if  the  defence  requires  it. 

732.  Large  convoys  are  formed  into  divisions,  each  with  a  conductor. 
The  distance  between  the  wagons  is  four  paces.  A  small  party  of  in- 
fantry is  attached  to  each  division. 

733.  Generally,  munitions  of  war  are  at  the  head  of  the  convoy,  sub- 
sistence next,- and  then  other  military  stores  ;  the  sutler  last.  But  al- 
ways that  part  of  the  convoy  whjch  is  most  important  to  the  army  shall 
be  where  it  is  most  secure  from  danger. 

7'i4.  The  commandant  should  send  out  fcconnoitering  parties,  and 
never  put  the  convey  in  motion  until  their  reports  have  been  received. 
He  always  forms  an  advance  and  rear  guard,  and  keeps  the  main  body 
under  his  immediate  order  at  the  most  important  point,  with  small 
guards  or  posts  at  other  points. 

735.  In  an  open  country  the  main  body  marches  by  the  side  of  the 
road,  opposite  the  centre  of  the  envoy;  in  other  cases  at  the  head  or 
rear  of  the  column,  as  the  one  or  the  other  is  more  exposed. 

736.  The  advance  guard  precedes  the  convoy  far  enough  to  remove 
all  obstacles  to  its  advance.  It  examines  the  woods,  defiles,  and  villa- 
ges, and  by  mounted  men  gives  information  to  the  commander,  and  re- 
ceives his  orders.     It  reconnoiters  places  for  halts  and  parks. 

737.  If  the  head  of  the  column  is  threatened,  the  advanced  guard 
seizes  the  defiles  and  places  which  the  enemy  might  occupy,  and  holds 
them  until  the  main  body  advances  to  the  front  and  relieves  it;  the 
main  body  holds  the  positions  until  the  head  of  the  convoy  arrives,  and 
then  leaves  detachments,  which  are  relieved  by  the  parties  marching 
with  the  divisions;  the  posts  are  not  abandoned  until  the. whole  convoy 
has  passed  and  the  position  is  no  longer  important. 


conVoth  and  their  escorts.  76 

Ite.  When  tho  rear  is  threatened,  like  measures  are  taken  ;  the  rear 
guard  defends  tho  grounds  and  retards  the  enemy  by  breaking  tho 
bridges  and  blocking  the  road. 

7d0.  If  the  flank-  arc  threatened,  and  the  ground  is  broken,  and 
many  defiles  are  to  be  passe  i.  the  defence  uf  the  convoy  becomes  more 
difficult;  the  ad  ran  oo  and  rear  guards  must  he  reduced,  the  tlmks 
Strengthened,  and  positions  which  will  cover  the  inarch  of  tiie  convoy 
must  be  occupied  by  the  main  body  of  the  troops  before  the  head  of  the 
convoy  roaches  them,  and  until  it  has  passed. 

740.  If  the  convoy  is  large  ajid  has  to  pass  places  that  the  force  and 
position  of  the  enemy  make  dangerous,-  the  loss  of  the  whole  convoy 
must  not  be  risked;  it  must  pass  by  divisions,  which  reunite  after  tho 
passage.  In  this  ease  tho  greater  part  of  the  troops  guard  the  first  di- 
vision ;  they  seize  tho  important  points,  and  covor  thotn  with  light 
troops,  or,  if  necessary,  with  small  posts,  and  hold  them  until  all  the 
divisions  have  passed. 

7-11.  If  there  is  artillery  ia  the  convoy,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
uses  it  for  tho  defence. 

742.  To  move  faster  and  make  the  defence  easier,  the  wagons  move 
in  double  file  whenever  the  road  allows  it.  If  a  wagon  breaks,  it  is  at 
onoe  removed  from  tho  road  ;  when  repaired,  it  takes  the  rear';  when  it 
cannot  be  repaired,  its  load  and  horses  are  distributed  to  some  of  the 
other  wagons  kept  in  the  rear  for  that  purpose, 

713.  Convoys  by  water  aro  escorted  on  the  same  principles.  Each 
boat  lias  a  small  infantry  guard  ;  one  portion  of  the  escort  precedes  or 
foil  >'.vs  the  convoy  in  boats.  The  cavalry  march  opposite  the  coi:voy; 
the  advance  and  rear  guard  move  by  land,  and  all  are  connected  by 
flankers  with  the  convoy.  Where  a  river  runs  through  a  narrow  valley, 
tho  body  of  the  infantry  moves  by  laud  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  oc- 
cupying the  heights  and  disturbing  I  he  convoy. 

74  1.  Convoys  halt  every  hour  to  let  the   horses  take  breath  and  the 

is  close  up.     Lmg  halts  are  made  but  seldom,  and  only  in  places 

that  have  been  reconnoitered  and  found  favorable  for  defence.  At  night 

the  p  irk  is  arranged  for  defence,  and   in  preference  at  a  distance  from 

inhabited  places,  if  in  an  enemy's  country. 

745.  The  wagons  are  usually  parked  in  ranks,  axlo  against  axle,  the 
poles  in  the  same  direction,  and  with  sufficient  space  between  the  ranks 
for  the  horses.  It  an  attack  is  feared,  they  are  parked  in  square,  tho 
hin  1  wheels  outside,  and  the  horses  inside. 

740  O.i  the  appearance  of  the  enemy  during  the  march,  the  CQm- 
mauder  closes  up  the  wagons  and  continues  his  march  in  order;  he 
avoids  fighting  ;  but  if  the  enemy  seizes  a  p  mition  that  commands  his 
road,  heattaoks  vigorously  with  the  mass  of  his  force,  but  is  not  to  con- 
tinue tho  pursuit  far  from*  the  cmvoy.  The  convoy  halts,  and  resumes 
tho  march  when  t lie  position  is  carried. 

747.  When  the  enemy  is  too  strong  to  be  attacked,  the  convoy  is 
parkeOTn  square  if  .there  is  room ;  if  not  closed  up  in  double  hie;  at 
the  front  and  rear  the  road  is  blocked  by  wagons  across  it.  The  drivers 
are  dism  mute  1  at  the  heads  of  the  horses.  They  are  not  permitted  to 
m  ike  their  pscape.  The  light  troops  keep  the  enemy  at  a  distance  as 
long  as  possible,  and  are  supported  when  necessary,  but  prudeutly,  as 
the'troops  must  be  kept  in  hand  to  resist  the  main  attack. 


Jt>  BAGGAGE    TRAIJfS. 

748.  If  a  wagon  takes  fire  in  the  park,  remove  it  if  possible;  if  not, 
remove  first  the  ammunition  wagons,  then  those  to  leeward  of  the  fire. 

749.  When  a  whole  convoy  can  not  be  saved,  the  most  valuable  part 
may  sometimes  be  by  abandoning  the  rest.  If  all  efforts  fail,  ami  there 
is  no  hope  of  succor,  the  convoy  must  be  set  on  lire  ami  the  hordes 
kilted  that  cannot  be  saved  ;  the  escort  may  then   cut  its  way  through. 

750.  If  the  convoy  is  of  prisoners  of  war,  every  effort  should  he  made 
to  reach  a  village  or  strong  building  where  they  may  be  coiftined  ;  if 
forced  to  fight  in  the  field,  the  prisoners  must  he  secured  and  made  to  lie 
down  until  the  action  is  over. 

BAGGAGE   TRAINS. 

751.  The  baggage  train  of  general  headquarters  and  the  trains  of  the 
several  divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an  officer  of  the  Quarter- 
master's Department.  These  officers  command  and  conduct  the  trains 
under  the  orders  thej  receive  from  their  respective  headquarters.  "When 
the  trains  of  different  divisions  march  together,  or  the  train  of  a  division 
marches  with  the  train  of  general  headquarters,  the  senior  Quartermas- 
ter directs  the  whole. 

752.  The  regimental  Quartermaster  has  charge  of  the  wagons,  horses,' 
equipments,  and  all  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of  the 
regiment.  Under  the  orders  of  the  Colonel,  he  assembles  them  for  the 
march,  and  maintains  the  order  and  police  •of  the  train  in  park  on  the' 
march.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  the  orders  of  the 
Quartermaster  of  the  division.  When  the  march  is  by  brigade,  the 
senior  Regimental  Quartermaster  in  the  brigade,  or  the  Quartermaster 
of  the  brigade  has  the  direction  of  the  whole.  -The  necessary  wagon- 
masters,  or  non-commissioned  officers  to  act  as  such,  are  employed  with 
the  several  trains. 

753.  None  but  the  authorized  wagons  are  allowed  to  march  with  the 
train.  The  wagons  of  the  several  headquarters,  the  regimental  wagons, 
and  the  wagons  of  sutlers  au  horized  by  orders  from  headquarters  to 
-march  with  the  train,  are  all  to  be  conspicuously  marked. 

754.  When  the  train  of  headquarters  is  to  have  a  guard,  the  strength 
of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.  Generals  of  Brigade  guard 
their  trains  by  the  men  attached  to  the  train  of  the  first  regiment  of 
their  brigades.  The  regimental  trains  are  loaded,  unloaded,  »; i id  guard- 
ed, as  far  as  practicable,  by  convalescents  and  men  not  effective  in  the 
ranks  ;  in  the  cavalry,  by  dismounted  men.  When  the  guard  of  a  train 
is  the  escort  for  its  defence,  tho  regulations  in  regard  to  convoys  and 
escorts  take  effect. 

755.  Habitually  each  division  is  followed  by  its  train,  the  regimental 
trains,  uniting  at  the  brigade  rendezvous!  When  otherwise,  the  order 
for  the  movement  of  the  divisions,  brigades,  and  regiments  contains  tho 
•necessary  directions  in  regard  to  the  assembling  and  marching  of  the 
respective  trains.  The  several  trains  march  in  an  order  analogous  to 
the  rank  o'f  the  generals,  and  the  order  of  battle  of  the  troops  tcTwhicb 
they  belong.  Trains  are  not  allowed  in  any  case  to  be  in  the  midst  of 
the  troop-,  or  to  impede  the  march  of  the  troops. 

75G.  The  wagon-masters,  under  the  order's  of  the  officers  of  the  Quar- 
termaster's Department,  exercise  the  necessary  restraints  over  the 
teamsters  and  servants  who  leave  their  teams,  or  do  not  properly  con-

run  nvray  in  case  of  attack. 

757.  The  General  oomraandingthe  army  and  the  Generals  bi  Division 
will  not  permit  any  general  or  Btaff  officer,  o;  regiment  under  theiror- 
dcrs,  or  any  person  whatsoever,  attached  to  their  command,  to  have 
mors  than  the  authorized  amount  or  means  of  transportation.  For  this 
purpose  they  will  themselves  make,  and  cause  to  be  made,  frequent  le- 
views  and  inspections  of  the  trains.  They  will  see  that  no  trooper  is 
employed  to  lead  a  private  horse,  no  soldier  to  drive  a  private  vehicle, 
and  that  no  trooper  is  put  on  foot  to  lend  his  horse  to  an  officer.  They 
will  not  permit  the  wagons  of  the^  artillery  or  of  the  train  to  be  loaded 
with  anything  foreign  to  their  proper  service,  nor  any  public  horse,  for 
any  occasion,  to  lie  harnessed  to  a  private  carriage. 

758.  The  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  the  wagon  mas- 
ters, and  all  conductors  of  trains,  are  charged  with  watching  that  the 
regulations  respecting  transportation  allowances  are  strictly  observed. 

GENERAL    I'OLICK.  • 

759.  "When  necessaiy,  the  General-in-chief  or  General  of  Division 
may  appoint  a  provost  marshal  to  take  charge  of  prisoner**  with  a  suit- 
able guard,  or  other  police  force. 

760.  Private  servants,  not  soldiers,  will  not  be  allowed  to  wear  the 
uniform  of  any  corps  of  the  army;  but  each  will  be  required  to  carry 
with  him  a  certificate1  from  the  officer  who  employs  him,  verified,  for 
regimental  officers,  by  the  signature  of  the  Colonel;,  for  other  officers 
under  the  rank  of  Colonel,  by  the  chief  of  their  corps  or  department. 

TGI.  Laundresses  permitted  to  follow  the  army  will  be  furnished  with 
certificates,  signed  as  in  the  preceding  paragraph,  and  no  woman  of  bad 
character  will  be  allowed  to  follow  the  army.  Other  persons  with  the 
army,  not  officers  or  soldiers,  such  as  guides  of  the  country,  interpre- 
ters, <tc,  will  carry  about  them  similar  certificates  from  the  head  quar- 
ters that  employs  them. 

762.  Deserters  from  the  e.iemy,,  after  being  examined,  will  be  se- 
cured for  some  days,  as  they  may  be  spies  in  disguise  ;  as  opportunities 
offertthey  will  be  sent  to  the  rear;  after  which,  if  they  are  found  lurk- 
ipg  about  the  army,  or  attempting  to  return  to  the  enemy,  they  will  bo 
treated  with  severity. 

7G3.  The  arms  aqcr  accoutrements  of  deserters  will  be  turned  over  to 
the  Ordnance' Department,  and  their  horses  to  corps  in  want  of  them, 
after  being  bran  led  with  the  letters  "  C.  S."  Tho  compensation  to  ho 
accorded  to  deserters,  for  such  objects,  will  be  according  to  appraisement, 
made  under  the  direction  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department.  The  en-

mit  of  no  remission  of  the   awful  punishment  which  the  military' law 
awards  against  offences  of  this  nature. 

SAFEGUARDS. 

766.  Safeguards  are  protections  granted  to  persons  or  property  in 
foreign  parts  by  the  commanding  genera),  or  by  other  commanders 
within  the  limits  of  their  command. 

767.  Safeguards  are  usually  given  to  protect  hospitals,  public  estab- 
lishments, establishments  of  religion,  charity,  or  instruction,  museums, 
depositories  of  the  arts,  mills,  post-offices,  and  other  institutions  of  pub- 
lic benefit ;  also  to  individuals  whorruit  may  be  the  interest  of  the  army 
to  respect. 

768.  A  safeguard  may  consist  of  one  or  more  men  of  fidelity  and 
firmness,  generally  noneffective  non-commissioned  <  flkers,  furnished 
with  a  paper  setting  out  clearly  the  protection  and  exemptions  it  is  in- 
tended to  secure,  signed  by  the  commander  giving  it,  and  his  staff  of- 
ficer ;  or  it  may  consist  of  such  paper,  delivered  to  the  parly  whose  per- 
son, family,  house  and  property  it  is  designed  to  protect.  These  safe- 
guards must  be  numbered  and  registered. 

769.  The  men  left  as  safeguards  by  one  corps  may  be  replaced  by 
another.  They  are  withdrawn  when  the  country  is  evacuated  ;  but  if 
not,  they  have  orders  to  await  the  arrival  of  the  enemy's  troops,  and 
apply  to  the  commander  for  a  safe-conduct  to  the  outposts. 

770.  Eorm  of  a  safeguard  : 

By  authority  of , 

A  safeguard  is  hereby  granted   to  [A.  B  ,  or  the  house   and

cisely the  place,  nature  and  description  of  the  person,  property,  or 
buildings. J  All  officers  and  soldiers  belonging  to  theamiy  of  the  Con- 
federate States  are  therefore  commanded  to  respect  this  safeguard,  and 
to  afford,  if  necessary,  protection  to  [the  person,  family,  or  property  of

SIEGES. 

771.  In  the  following  regulations  the  besieging  force  is  supposed  to 
be  two  divisions  of  infantry  and  a  brigade  of  cavalry.  The  same  prin- 
ciples govern  in«other  cases. 

772.  The  Brigadier-Generals  of  infantry  serve,  in  turn,  as  Generals 
of  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  of  them  are  detailed  daHy,  according  to 
the  front  and  number  cf  attacks  ;  they  superintend  the  operations,  aid 
dispose  the  guards  .of  the  trenches  to  repulse  .sorties  and  protect  the 
works.  Officers  of  the  general  staff  are  assigned  to  them  to  transmit 
their  orders  and  attend  to  the  details  of  service. 


siloes.  79 

773.  The*  Colonels  and  Lieutenant-Colonels  of  infantry  alternate  for 
duty  in  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  are  detailed  daily  ;  they  superintend 
the  service  of  the  guards  and  workmen  in  the  part  of  the  work  to 
which  the  general  of  the  trenches  assign  them,  being  posted  with  troops 
of  their  own  regiments  in  preference.  The  commandant  of  the  siege 
may  place  the  Colonels  on  the  roster  with  the  Brigadier-Generals. 

774.  The  commandant  of  engineers  and  artillery  accompany  the 
first  troops  before  the  place  to  examine  the  works  ai.d  the  approaches. 
"When  the  engineers  have  completed  the  rcconnoisance  of  the  works, 
and  of  each  front  as  far  as  practicable,  the  commandant  of  engineers 
makes  a  plan  of  the  works  as  exact  and  detailed  as  possible,  and  under 
the  instructions  of  the  General  commanding  the  siege,  draws  up  the 
general  plan  of  the  siege,  and  discusses  it  with  the  commandant  of  ar- 
tillery in  regard  to  the  best  employment  of  that  arm.  These  officers 
then  submit  their  joint  or  separate  opinions  to  the  General  who  decides 
on  the  plan  of  the  siege,  and  give  the  orders  for  the  execution.  The 
commandant  of  engineers  directs  the  construction  of  all  the  works  of 
the  siege,  under  the  authority  of  theGeneral,  and  lays  before  him  every 
day  a  report  of  his  operations,  and  a  plan  showing  the  progress  of  the 
attack.  The  commandant  of  artillery  also  makes  daily  reports  to  the 
General  of  all  that  relates  to  his  branch  of  the  service. 

775.  The  Quartermaster-General  establishes  the  hospitals,  and  or- 
ganizes the  means  for  transporting  the  wounded  to  them. 

776.  The  commanding  General  appoints  a  field  officer  of  the  trenches, 
who  is  aided  by  one  or  two  Captains  or  Lieutenants. 

777.  The  field  officer  of  the  trenches  is  charged  with  all  the  details 
relative  to  the  assembling  of  the  guards  and  the  workmen.  He  distri- 
butes the  guards  on  the  different  points  of  the  attack  agreeably  to  the 
orders  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  forms  the  detachment  of 
workmen  for  the  engineers  and  artillery  ;  that  he  may  be  prepared  for 
this  distribution,  he  receives  every  day  from  the  Adjutant  General  a 
statement  of  the  details  for  the  next  day. 

778.  On  the  arrival  of  the  General  of  the. trenches,  the  field  officer  of 
the  trenches  gives  him  all  the  information  necessary  to  enable  him  to 
station  the  troops,  attends  him  in  his  visit  to  the  trenches,  and  takes 
his  orders  on  the  changes  to  make  in  the  position  of  the  troops.  Tho 
execution  is  intrusted  to  the  commandants  of  the  troops. 

779.  The  field  officer  of  the  trenches  sees  that  men  and  litters  are 
always  ready  to  bring  off  the  wounded.  One  or  more  companies  of  the 
guards  of  the  trenches  are  put  under  his  immediate  orders  fur  tho  pre- 
servation of  older  and  police  in  the  trenches. 

780.  Thedivi-i  ms,  brigades,  regiments,  and  battalions,  are  encamped 
during  the  siege  in  the  order  of  bailie.  The  service  of  camp  is  con- 
ducted a-  heretofore  prescribed. 

781.  The  infantry  bus  two  kind  of  siege  service — the. guard  of  the 
trenches  and  the  work  of  the  trenches. 

7S"_'.  T  S  guards  of  'he  trenches  mount  every  day  by  battalions,  in 
such  oriier  of  detail  that  all  the  troop*  may  take  an  equal  share,  end 
nu  part  of  the  line  lie  left  too  weak.  II  only  one  battalion  is  required, 
each  division  furnishes  it  alternately ;  if  two  are  required,  each  divi- 
sion gives  one  ;  if  three,  on*1   division  furnishes  two,  the  other  one,  al-

ternately.    The  two  battalions  of  the  same  divisions  are  not  taken  from 
the  same  brigade. 

783.  The  detail  for  work  of  the  trenches  is  by  company,  from  all  the 
regiments  at  one  time,  or  in  turn,  and  continues  generally  twelve  hours. 
The  detail  from,  any  regiment  sh.ould  never  be  less  than  a  company.  If 
only  half  a  company  would  be  needed  from  all  the  regiments  at  a  time, 
every  cither  regiment  furnishes  a  full  company  alternately. 

784.  The  battalions  fop-  guard  are  detailed  at  least  twelve  hours  in 
advance  ;  they  furnish  no  other  details  during  this  tour.^  If  the  whole 
regiment  is  called  out,  it  leaves  a  sufficient  police  guard  in  camp. 

785.  Twenty-four  hours,  or  twelve  at  least,  before  mounting  guard  in 
the  trenches,  the  battalions  detailed  for  guard  do  not  furnish  workmen; 
and  the  companies  of  these  battalions  whose  tour  it  would  have  been 
to  work  in  the  trenches  do  not  go  there  for  twenty-four  hours  after 
guard,  if  possible,  or  at  the  least  twelve. 

786.  The  workmen. who  are  required  for  other  work  than  that  of  the 
treuches,  are  taken  from  the  roster  for  fatigue  from  the  battalions  and 
companies  not  employed  in  the  trenches. 

787.  The  battalions  first  for  detail  for  guard  of  the  trenches)  and  the 
companies  first  for  detail  for  work  in  the  trenches,  furnish  no. other  de- 
tails, and  are  held  on  picket,  ready  to  march  at  the  call  of  the  field  offi- 
cer of  the  trenches. 

788.  Materials  for  the  siege,  such  as  fascines,  gabionR,  hurdles,  pick- 
ets, &c,  are  furnished  by  the  different  corps,  in  the  proportion  ordered 
by  the  General. 

789.  Guards  and  workmen  going  to  the  trenches,  march  without  beat 
of  drum  or  music. 

790.  At  all  times,  and  especially  on  the  day  the  trenches  are  open'ed, 
everything  is  avoided  likely  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  enemy.  With 
this  view,  the  General  may  vary  the  hour  of  relieving  guards. 

791.  The  chiefs  of  engineers,  and  artillery  make  requisitions  for 
workmen  in  advance,  that  the  details 'may  be  made  in  time  to  prevent 
any  delay  in  the  work.  They  should  exceed  the  number  strictly  re- 
quired, that  there  m;iy  be  a  reserve  for  unforeseen  wants.  If  this  re- 
serve is  found  insufficient,  the  General  directs  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  to  call  on  the  picket. 

792.  Before  the  guards  and  workmen  march,  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  arranges  them  so  that  each  detachment  can  reach  its  ground 
without  confusion.  The  troops  are  posted  in  the  trenches  according  to 
the  position  of  their  regiments  in  the  order  of  battle,  and,  as  far  as 
possible,  the  companies  of  workmen  in  like  order.  The  reserves  of 
workmen  are  placed  at  the  depot  of  the  trenches,  or  the  nearest  suita- 
ble place  to  the  works. 

793.  The  workmen  leave  their  knapsacks  and  swords  in  camp,  and 
march  with  their  tire-arms  and  cartridge-boxes,  which  they  place  mar 
them  while  at  work.  They  always  carry  their  overcoats,  to  cover  them 
in  resting  or  when  wounded. 

794.  The  guards  always  enter  the  trenches  with  arms  trailed,  and 
the  wo >  kmen  also,  unless  they  carry  materials  or  tools,  when  the  anus 
are  in  the  sling. 

795.  The  guards  and  detachments  of  workmen  send  a  Corporal  to  the 


SfEGES.  81 

openings  of  tbe  trenches  to  guide  the  relief.  They  march  out  of  the 
trenches  hy  the  flunk,  with  trailed  arms. 

TOG.  Sand-bags,  forming  loop-holes,  are  placed  at  interval?  on  the 
parapet  to  protect  the  sentinels  ;  they  are  mure  numerous  than  the  sen- 
tinels, so  t hat  l tie  enemy  may  not  know  where  the  sentinels  are  placed. 

797.  When  detachments  are  placed  at  night  in  advance  of  the 
trenches  to  cover  ihe  workmen,  the  men  6it  or  lie  down,  wi.h  their 
firearms  in  their  hands,  to  hide  themselves  better  from  the  enemy; 
the  sentinels  put  their  ears  to  the  ground  frequently,  that  they  may 
hear  troops  coming  out  of  the  place.  To  prevent  mistakes,  the  work- 
men are  told  what  troops  cover  them. 

708,  No  honors-are  paid  in  the  trenches.  When  the  General  com- 
manding the  siegr-.  visits  them,  the  guards  place  themselves  in  rear  of 
the  banquette,  and  rest  on  their  arms.  The  colors  are  never  carried 
to  tbe  trenches  unless  the  whole  regiment  marches  to  repulse  ;i  sortie 
or  make  an  assault.  Even  in  this  case,  they  are  not  displayed  until  tbe 
General  commanding  the  srege  gives  a  formal  order. 

709.  The  materials  of  the  siege  of  all  kinds,  together  with  the  tools, 
are  collected  in  part  at  the  depots  of  the  trenches,  and  in  part  at  the 
opening  of  the  trenches,  or  in  such  other  place  as  has  been  appointed 
for  the  convenience  of  the  service  by  the  field  officers  of  the  trenches,  on 
the  advice  of  the  chiefs  of  artillery  and  engineers.  They  are  in  charge 
of  oncers  of  engineers  and  artillery,  with  guards  or  non-commissioned 
officers  of  both  corps.  But  if  these  corps  cannot  furnish  them,  the 
chiefs  apply  for  assistance  from  the  infantry. 

800.  The  workmen,  in  going  to  the  trehches,  carry  such  tools  and 
materials  as  are  required  by  the  artillery  and  engineers.  In- this  case, 
the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  has  notice  and  .-uperintends  it. 

801*  The  soldiers  sent  to  the  trenches  go  with  their  cartridge-boxes 
filled.  Cartridges,  when  needed,  are  sent  to  the  trenches  on"  the  re- 
quisition of  commanders  of  battalions,  approved  by  the  General  of 
tbe  trenches. 

802.  In"  the  case  of  a  softie,  the  guards  move  rapidly  to  tbe  prtae.es 
that  have  been  designated  by  tbe  General  of  the  trenches,  and  which 
affords  the  best  defence  for  the  head  of  the  works,  the  batteries,  the  com- 
munications, or  the  Hanks,  or  best  enable  them  to  take  the  sortie  itself 
in  Hank  or  reverse.  Having  lined  the  banquette  to  fire  on  the  enemy, 
the  troops  form  on  the  reverse  of  the  trench  to  receive  him.  Tie  work- 
men take  arms,  retain  their  positions,  or  retire  with  their  tools,  as  or- 
dered. The  officers  commanding  the  detachments  of  workmen  see  that 
their  movements  are  made  promptly  and  in  good  order,  so  as  to  avoid 
all  confusion  in  the  communications. 

.  The  troops  that  advance  beyond  the  trenches  to  repulse  tho 
sortie,  must  not  follow  in  pursuit  The  General  takes  care  that  they 
return  to  tbe  trenches  before  the  retreat  of  the  sortie  allows  t he  artil- 
lci\  uf  the  place  to  open  on  truyn.  When  the  workmen  return,  tho 
officers  and  non  commissioned  officers  of  the  detachments  call  the  roll 
without  interrupting  the  work,  which  is  immediately  resumed. 

804,  When  il  is  necewary  t.>  dismount  cavalry  and  send  them  to  the 
trenches,  they  should  be  employed  as  near  their  cunip  as  possible,  and 
posted  between  the  detachments  of  infantry. 


82  yoHTirrED  plages. 

805.  Men  belonging  to  the  cavalry  may,  in  assaults,  be  employed  in 
carrying  fascines  and  other  materials  to  fill  ditches  and  make  passages. 

806.  The  general  officers  of  cavalry  are  more  particularly  employed 
in  the  service  of  posts  ajid  detachments  placed  in  observation  to  protect 
the  siege.  Tliey  and  the  field  officers  of.  this  arm  are  employed  in  the 
command  of  escorts  to  convoys,  of  whatever  .arms  the  escorts  may  bo 
com  posed.  When  these  duties  are  not  sufficient  to  employ  them,  they 
take  their  share  of  the  duty  of  the  trenches.  * 

807.  The  officers  of  engineers  and  artillory  of  the  trenches  make  to 
the  General  of  the  trenches  a  return  of  all  losses  in  their  troops,  and 
such  other  reports  on  the  work  as  he  requires,  in  addition  to  the  reports 
direct  to  their  respective  chiefs  on  the  details  of  the  service. 

808.  At  the  end  of  each  tour,  the  field  ofrcer  of  tlfe  trenches  draws 
up  a  report  for  the  twenty-four  hours  to  the  General  of  trhe  trenches. 
The  General  of  tho  trenches  reports  to  the  General  commanding  the 
siege. 

809.  The  commanders  of. the  several  corps  in  the  trenches  report, 
when  relieved,  to  their  respective  headquarters  the  losses  during  the 
tour,  and  the  conduct  of  the  officers  an  J  men. 

810.  However  practicable  the  breach  may  appear,  or  however  ruined 
the  work  in  rear  of  it,  the  heads  of  columns  must  always  be  supplied 
with  ladders  to  get  over  unexpected  obstacles. 

811.  The  General  commanding  the  siege  designates  picked  compa- 
nies to  protect  property  and  persons,  and  prevent  pillage  and  violence, 
from  the  moment  the  place  is  carried.  The  officers  exert  themselves  to 
restrain  the  men. 

812.  The  General  designates  the  places  requiring  particular  protec- 
tion, such  as  churches,  asylums,  hospitals,  colleges,  schools  and  maga- 
zines. The  order  of  the;r  protection  should  remind  the  soldiers,  at  the 
time,  of  the  penalty  of  disobeying  it. 

813.  Whether  the  place  be  tnken  by  assault  or  by  capitulation,  the 
provisions  and  the  military  scores,  and  the  public  funds,  are  reserved 
for  the  use  of  the  army. 

814.  The  commander  of  engineers  will  keep  a  journal  of  the  siege, 
showing  the  operations  of. each  day  in  detail,  the  force  employed  on  the. 
work,  the  kind  and  quantity  of  materials  used  in  them,  &c.  lie  will 
also  mark  on  a  plan  of  the  ground  the  daily  progress  of  the -works,  and 
make  the  necessary  drawings  explanatory  of  their  construction. 

815.  The  commander  of  the  artillery  will  keep  a  daily  journal  of  tho 
operations  under  his  direction,  showing  the'number  and  kind  of  pieces 
in  battery,  the  force  employed  in  serving  them,  the  kind  and  quantity 
of  ammunition  expended,  the  number  of  rounds  tired  from  each  piece 
of  ordnance,  the  effect  of  the  fire,  and  all  other  particulars  relative  to 
his  branch  of  the  service. 

816.  These  journals  and  drawings  will  be  sent  after  the  siege,  with 
the  report  of  the  General,  to  the  War  Department. 

DEFENCE    OF    FOKTl'FIED    PLACES. 

817*.  Tn  war,  every  commander  of  a  fortified  place  shall  always  hold 
himself  prepared  with  his  plan  of  defence,  as  if  at  any  time  liable  to 
attack:  He  arranges  this  plan  according'  to  the  probable  mode  of  at- 
tack ;  determines  tho  posts  of  the  troops  in  the  several  parts  of  the 


FORTIFIED    TLAQES.  83 

works,  the  reliefs,  the  reserves,  and  the  details  »of  service  in  nil  the 
corps.  He  draws  up  instructions  fur  a  case  of  attack,  and  exercises  the 
garrison  according  to  his  plan  of  defence.  In  sea-coast  works  he  pro- 
vides the  instructions  for  t tie  different  batteries  on  the  approach  of 
ship-. 

818.  In  framing  his  plan,  he  studies  the  works  and  the  exterior  with- 
in the  radius  of  attack  and  investment,  the  strength  of  the  garrison,  the 
artillery,  the  munitions  of  war,  subsistence  and  supplies  of  all  kinds, 
and  takes  immediate  measures  to  procure  whatever  is  deficient  of  troops 
or  supplies,  either  by  requisition  on  the  Government,  or  from  the  means 
put  at  his  disposal. 

819.  On  the  approach  of  an  enemy,  he  removes  all  houses  and  other 
objects,  within  or  without  the  place,  that  cover  the  approaches,  or  in- 
terrupt the  fire  of  the  guns  *>r  the  movements  of  the  troops.  lie  as- 
sures himself  personally  that  all  posterns,  outlets,  or  embrasures,  &c., 
are  in  proper  state  of  security. 

82u.  He  shall  be  furnished  by  the  Department  of  War  with  a  plan  of 
the  works,  showing  all  the  "details  of  the  fortifications  and  of  the  exte- 
rior within  the  radius  of  attack  ;  with  a  map  of  the  environs  within  the 
radius  of  investment r  with  a  map  of  the  vicinity,  including  the  neigh- 
boring works,  roads,  water  channels,  coasts,  &c.  ;  with  a  memoir  ex- 
plaining the  situation  and  defence  of  the  place,  and  the  relations  and 
bearings  of  the  several  wofks  on  each  other,  and  on  the  approaches  by 
land  and  water — all  which  he  ca-rcfully  preserves,  and  communicate^ 
only  to  the  council  of  defence. 

821.  He  consults  his  next  in  rank,  and  the  senior  officer  of  the  engi- 
neers and  of  the  artillery,  either  separately,  or  as  a  council  of  defence. 
In  the  latter  case,  he  designates  an   officer  to  act  as  secretary  to  the 

council,  and  to  record  their  proceedings  and  their  joint  or  separate 
opinions,  which  are  to  be  kept  secret  during  the  siege.  The  members 
may  record  their  opinions  under  their  own  signature.  In  all  cases,  the 
commander  decides  on  his  own  responsibility. 

822.  The  commander  of  the  place,  and  the  chiefs  of  engineers  and  of 
artillery,  shall  keep  journals  of  the  defence,  in  which  shall  be  entered, 
in  order  of  dnte,  without  blank  or  interlineation,  the  orders  given  or 
received,  the  manner  in  which  they  are  executed,  their  results,  and 
every  event  and  circumstance  of  importance  in  the  progress  of  the  de- 
fence. These  journals,  and  the  proceedings  of  the  council  of  defence, 
shall  be  sent,  after  the  siege,  to  the  Department  of  War. 

823.  There  shall  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  commandant  of  the  place, 
to  be  sent  after  the  siege  to  the  Department  of  War,  a  map  of  the  envi- 
rons, a  plan  of  the  fortifications,  and  a  special  plan  of  the  front  of  at- 
tack, on  which  the  chief  engineer  will  trace,  in  succession,  the  positions 
occupied,  and  the  works  executed  by  the  enemy  from  the  investment; 
and  also  the  works  of  counter  approach  of  defencev  and  the  successive 
positions  of  the  artillery  and  other  troops  of  the  garrison  during  the 
progress  of  the  siege. 

824.  The  commander  shall  defend  in  succession  the  advanced  works, 
the  covered  way  and  outworks,  the  body  of  the  work,  and  the  interior 
entrenchments.  He  will  not  be  content  with  clearing  away  the  foot  of 
the  breaches,  and  defending  them  by  abattis,  mines,  and  all  the  means 
used  in  sieges  ;  but  he  shall  begin  in  good  time,  behind  the  bastions  or 


84  TROOPS   ON    BOARD   OF    TRANSPORTS. 

front  of  attack,  the  rlecessary  entrenchments  tp  resist  assaults  on  the 
main  w  ork. 

825.  He  shall  use  his  means  of  defence  in  such  manner  as  always  to 
have  a  reserve  of  fresh  troops,  chosen  from  his  best  soldiers,  to  resist 
assaults,  re-take  the  outworks,  and  especially  to  resist  assaults  on  the 
body  of  the  place  ;  and  a  reserve  of  provisions  for  the  last  period  of  the 
siege,  and  of  ammunition  for  the  last  attacks. 

826:  He  must,  in  every  case,  compel  the  besieging  force  to  approach 
by  the  slow  and  successive-' works  of  siege,  and  must  sustain  at  least 
one  assault  on  a  practicable  breach  in  the  body  of"  the  place. 

827.  When  the  commander  thinks  that"  the  end  of  the  defence  has 
come,"  lie  shall  still  consult  the  council  of  defence  on  the  means  that 
.may  renain  to  prolong  the  siege.  But  in  all  cases  he  alone  will  decide 
on  the  time,  manner,  and  terms  of  the  surrender.  In  the  capitulation, 
he  shall  not  seek  or  accept  better  terms  for  himself  than  for  the  garri- 
son, but  shall  share  their  fate,  and  exert  his  best  endeavors  for  the  care 
of  the  troops,  and  especially  of  the  sick  and  wounded. 

828.  No  commander  in  the  field  shall  withdraw  troops  or  supplies  from 
any  fortified  place,  or  exercise  any  authority  over  its  commandant,  un- 
less it  has  been  put  subject  to  his  orders  by  competent  authority. 

ARTICLE  XXXVII. 

TROOPS   ON    BOARD   OF    TRANSPORTS. 

'829.  Military  commanders  charged  with  the  embarkation  of  troops, 
and  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department  intrusted  with  the  se- 
lection of  the  transports,  will  take  care  that  the  vessels  are  entirely  sea- 
worthy and  proper  for  such  service,  and  suitable  arrangements  are 
made  in  them  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  troops. 

830.  If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  officer  commanding  the  troops  to  be  em- 
barked, the  vessel  is  not  proper  or  suitably  arranged,  the  officer  charged 
with  the  embarkation  shall  cause  her  to  be  inspected  by  competent  and 
experienced  persons. 

831.  Immediately  after  embarking,  the  men  will  be  assigned  to  quar- 
ters, equal  parties  on  both  sides  of  the  ship,  and  no  man  will  be  al- 
lowed to  loiter  or  sleep  on  the  opposite  side.  As  far  as  practicable,  the 
men  of  each  company  will  be  assigned  to  the  same  part  of  the  vessel, 
and  the  squads,  in  the  same  manner,  to  contiguous  berths. 

832.  Arms  will  be  so  placed,  if  there  be  no  racks,  as  to  be  secure  from 
injury,  and  enable  the  men  to  handle  them  promptly  ;  bayonets  unfixed 
and  in  scabbard. 

833.  Ammunition  in  cartridge-boxes  to  be  so  placed  as  to  be  entirely 
secure  from  fire  ;  reserve  ammunition  to  be  reported  to  the.  master  of 
the  transport,  with  request  that  he  designate  a  safe  place  of  deposit. 
Frequent  inspections  will  be  made  of  the  service  ammunition,  to  insure 
its  sufety  and  good  condition. 

834.  No  officer  is  to  sleep  out  of  his  ship,  or  to  quit  his  ship,  without 
the  sanction  of  the  officer  commanding  on  board. 

835.  The  guard  will  be  proportioned  to  the  number  of  sentinels  re- 
quired. At  sea,  the  guard  will  mount  with  side-arms  only;  The  of- 
fice of  the  guard  will  be  the  officer  of  the  day.' 

836.  Sentinels  will  be  kept  over  the  fires,  with  buckets  of  water  at 


TROOPS   ON    BOARD   OV   TRANSPORTS.  85 

hand,  promptly  to  extinguish  fires.  Smoking  is  prohibited  between 
decks  or  in  the  cabins,  at  all  times;  nor  shall  any  lights  he  allowed  be- 
tween decks  except  -such  ship  lanterns  as  the  master  of  the  transport 
may  direct,  or  those  carried  by  the  officer  of  the  day  in  the  execution 
of  liis  duty. 

837.  Regulations  will  be  adopted  to  enable  companies  or  messes  to 
conk  in  turn  ;  no  others  than  those  whose  turn  it  is  will  be  allowed  to 
loiter  round  or  approach  the  galleys  or  other  cooking  places. 

838.  The  commanding  officer  will  make  arrangements,  in  concert 
with  the  master  of  the  vessel,  for  calling  the  troops  to  quarters,  so  that 
in  case  of  alarm,  hy  storm,  or  tire,  or  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  every 

'man  may  repair  promptly  to  his  station.  But  he  will  take  care  not  to 
crowd  the  deck.  The  troops  not  wanted  at  the  guns,  or  to  assist  the 
sailors,  and  those  who  cannot  be  advantageously  employed  with  small 
arm-:,  will  he  formed  as  a  reserve  between  decks. 

839.  All  the  troops  will  turn  out  at A.  M..  without  arms  or 

uniforms,  and  (in  warm  weather)  without  shoes  or  stockings ;  .when 
every  individual  will  be  clean,  his  han  Is,  face  and  feet  washed,  andhis 
hiir  combed.  The  same  personal  inspection  will  be  repeated  thirty 
minutes  before  sunset.  The  cooks  alone  will  be  exempted  from  one  of 
these  inspections  per  day,  if  necessary. 

840.  Recruits  or  awkward'men  will  be  exercised  in  the  morning  and 
evening  in  the  use  of  arms,  an  hour  each  time,  when  the  weather  will 
permit. 

841.  Officers  will  ejiforco  cleanliness  as  indispensable  to  health. 
When  the  weather  will  permit,  bedding  will  bo. "brought  on  deek  every 
morning  for  airing.  Tubs  may  be  fixe!  on  trie  forecastle  for  bathing, 
or  the  men  may  be  placed'  in  the  chains  and  have  buckets  of  water 
thrown  over  them. 

842.  Between  decks  will  not  be  washed  often er  than  once  a  week,  and  . 
only  when  the  weather  is  tine."  The  boards  of  the  lower  berths  will  be 
removed  once  or  twice  a  week  to  change  the  straw.  Under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Surgeon  and  the  officer  of  the  day,  frequent  fumigations  will 
be  performed  between  decks.  The  materials  required  are — common 
s:ilt,  four  ounces;  powdered  oxide  of  manganese,  one  ounon;  sulphuric 
acid,  one  ounce,  diluted  with  two  ounces  of  water.  The  diluted*  acid  is 
poured  over  (be  other  ingrediepts  in  a  basin  placed  in  q  hot  sand  bath. 
Solutions  of  chloride  of  lime  and  chloride  of  zinc  are  excellent  disin- 
fecting agents. 

843.  During  voyages  in  hot  weather,'  the  master  of  the  vessel  will  be 
desired  to  provide  wind  sails,  which  will  be  kept  constantly  hung  up, 
nnd  frequently  examined,  to  sec  that  they  draw  well  and  are  not  ob- 
structed. 

844.  During  cooking  hours,  the   officers  of  companies  visit  the  ca-" 
.  and    see  that  the  messes    are  well    prepared.     The    coppers   and 

other  oooking  utensils  are  to  be  regularly  and  well  washed,  ooth  before 
and  after  n-p. 

The  bedding  will  be  replaced  in  the  berths  at  sunset,  or  at  an 
earlier  hour  when  there  is  a  prospect  of  bad  weather;  and  at  tattoo 
every  man  not  on  duty  will  be  in  his  berth.  To  insure  the  execution 
of  this  regulation,  the  officer  of  the  day,  with  a  lantern,  will  make  a 
tour  botween  decks. 


86  TROOPS  ON  BOARD  OF  TRANSPORTS. 

846.  Lights  will  be  extinguished  nt  tattoo,  except  such  as  nre  placed    • 
under  sentinels.     The  ott  cer  »f  the  day  will  see  to  it,  and  report  to  t lie 
commanding  officer.     The  officers'   lights   will   he  extinguished   at   10 
o'clock,  unless  special  permission  be  given  to  continue  them  for  a  longer 
time,  as  in  case  of  sickness  or  other  emergency. 

847.  For  the  sake  of  exercise,  tlw  troops  will  be  "occasionally  cajled 
to  quarters  by  the  beat  to  arms.  Those  appointed  to  the  guns  will  he 
frequently  exercised  in  the  use  of  them.  The  arms  and  accoutrements 
will  be  frequently  inspected.  The  metalic  parts  of  the  former  will  be 
often  wiped  and  greased  again. 

84?<.  The  men  will  not  lie  allowed  to  6leep  on  deck  in  hot  weather  or 
in  the  sun  ;  they  will  be  encouraged  and  required  to  take  exercise  on 
deck,  in  squads  by  succession;  when  necessary. 

849.  At  morning  and  evening  parades,  the  Surgpon  will  examine  the 
men,  to  observe  whether  there  be  any  appearance  of  disease. 

850.  The.sick  will,  as  far  as  practicable,  be  separated  from  the 
he:iltby  men.  On  the  first  appearance  of  malignant  contagion,  a  signal 
will  lie  made  for  the  hospital  vessel,  (if  there  be  one  in  company,)  and 
the  diseased  men  removed  to  her.  ' 

851.  A  good  supply  of  hospital  stores  and  medicines  will  be  taken  on 
each  vessel,  and  used  only  for  the  sick  and  convalescent. 

852.  The  Surgeon  will  guard  the  men  against  costiveness  on  ap- 
proaching a  hot  climate.  In  passing  through  the  West  Indies  to  the 
Soufhern  coast,  for  instance,  and  for  some  weeks  after  landing  in  those 
latitudes,  great  care  is  required  in  "the  use  of  fruit,  as  strangers  would 
not  he  competent  to  judge  of  it,  and  most  kinds,  after  long  voyages,  are 
prejudicial. 

■  853.  In  harbor,  where  there  is  no  danger  from  sharks,  the  men  may 
bathe;  but  not  more  than  ten  at  a  time,  and  attended  by  a  boat. 
„  854.  In  fitting  up  a  vessel  for  the  transportation  of  horses,  care  is  to 
be  taken  that  the  requisite  arrangements  are  made  for  conveniently  • 
feeding  and  cleaning  them,  and  to  secure  them  from  injury  in  rough 
weather  by  ropes  attached  to  breast-straps  and  breeching,  or  by  other 
suitable  means ;  and  especially  that  proptr  ventilation  is  provided  by 
openings  in  the  upper  deck,  wind-sails,  &c,  The  ventilation  of  steam- 
ers may  be  assisted  by  using  the  engine  for  that  purpose. 

855.  Horses  should  not  be  put  on  board  after  severe  exercise,  or  when 
heated.  In  hoisting  them  on  board,  th'e  slings  should  be  made  fast  to 
a  hook  at  the  end  of  the  fall,  or  the  knot  tied  by  an  expert  seaman,  so  " 
that  it  may  be  well  secured  and  easily  loosened.  The  horse  should  be 
run  up  quickly  to  prevent  him  foom  plunging,  and  should  be  steadied 
by  guide  ropes.  A  halter  is  placed  on  him  before  he  is  lifted  from  the 
ground. 

856.  On  board,  care  is  to  be  taken  that  the  horses  are  not  over-fed ; 
bran  should  form  part  of  their  ration.  '  The  face,  eyes,  and  nostrils  of 
each  horse  are  to  be  washed  at  the  usual  stable  hours  ;  and  occasionally 
the  manges  should  be  washed  and  the  nostrils  of  the  horse  sponged  with 
vinegar  and  water. 

857.  In  loading  vessels  with  stores  for  a  military  expedition,  the 
cargo  of  each  should  be  composed  of  an  assortment  of  such  stores  as 
may  be  available  for  service  in  case  of  the  non-arrival  of  others,  and 
they  should  be  placed  on  board  in  such  a  manner  that  they  may  be

easily  reached,  in  the  order  in  which  they  are-  required  for  service. 
Each  store-ship  should  he  marked,  at  the  bow  and  stern,  OQ  both  sides, 
in  large  characters,. with  a  distinctive  letter  and  number.  A  list  is  to 
be  made  of  t he  .stores  on  board  nf  each  vessel,  and  of  the  place  where 
they  are  to  be  found  in  it;  a  copy  of  this  list  bo  l>c  sent  to  the  chief 
officer  of  the  proper  department  in  the  expedition,  or  at  the  place  of  des- 
tination.

the  witness  is  material,  and  how  ;  2d,  that  the  accused  has  used  due 
diligence  to  procure  his  attendance,  and  3d,  that  he  has  reasonable 
ground  to  believe,  and  dues  believe,  that  he  will  be  able  to  procure  such 
attendance  within  a  reasonable  time  stated. 

866.  The  President  id'  a  court-martial,  besides  his  duties  and  privi- 
leges as  member,  is  the  organ  of  the  court,  to  keep  order  and  conduct 
its  business.  He  speaks  and  acts  for  the  court  in  each  case  where  the 
rule  lias  been  prescribed  by  law,  regulation,  or  its  own  resolution.  In 
all  their  u  el  iterations  the  law  secures  the  equality  of  the  members. 
•  867.  The  76th  Article  of  War  does  not  confer  on  a  court-martial  the 
power  to  punish  its  own  members.  For  disorderly  conduct,  a  member 
is  liable  as  in  other  offences  against  military  discipline ;  improper  words 
are  to  be  taken  down,  and  any  disorderly  conduct  of  a  member  reported 
to  the  authority  convening  the  court. 

868.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  summon  the  necessary  witnesses  for 
the  trial  ;  but  be  shall  not  summon  any  witness  at  the  expense  of  the 
Confederate  States,  nor. any  officer  of  the  army,  without  the  order  of  the 
court,  unless  satisfied  that  his  testimony  is  material  and  necessary  to 
the  ends  of  justice. 

869..  Every  court-martial  shall  keep  a  complete  and  accurate  record 
of  its  proceedings,  to  be  authenticated  by  the  signatures  of  the  Presi- 
dent and  Judge  Advocate,  who  shall  also  certify,  in  like  manner,  the 
sentence  pronounced  by  the  court  in  each  case.  The  record  must  show 
that  the  court  was  organized  as  the  law  requires  ;  that  the  court  and 
Judge  Advocate  were  duly  sworn  in  the  presence  of  the  prisoner;  that 
he  was  previously  asked  whether  he  had  objection  to  any  member,  and 
his  answer  thereto.  A  copy  of  the  order  appointing  the  court  will  be 
entered  on  the  record  in  each  case. 

870.  Whenever  the  same  court-jmartial  tries  more  prisoners  than  one, 
and  they  are  arraigned  on  separate  and  distinct  charges,  the  court  is  to 
be  sworn  at  the  commencement  of  each  trial,  and  the  proceedings  in 
each  case  will  be  made  up  separately. 

871.  The  record  shall  be  clearly  and  legibly  written  ;  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, without  erasures  or  interlineations,  the  pages  to  be  numbered, 
with  a  margin  of  one  inch. on  tlue  left  side  of  each  page,  and  at  the  top 
of  the  odd  and  bottom  of  the  even  pages  ;  through  this  last  margin  the 
sheets  to  be  sritehed  together;  the  documents  accompanying  the  pro- 
ceedings to  be  noted  and  marked  in  such  a  manner  as  to  afford  an  easy 
reference. 

872.  No. recommendation  will  be  embraced  in  the  body  of  the  sen- 
tence. Those  members  only  who  concur  in  the  recommendation  will 
sign   it.  ^   k 

_  873.  The  legal  punishments  for  soldiers  by  sentence  of  a  court-mar- 
tial according  to  the  offence,  and  the  jurisdiction  of  the  court,  are- 
death  ;  corporal  punishment  by  flogging:  confinement;  confinement  on 
bread  and  water*  diet;  solitary  confinement;  bard  labor;  ball  and 
chain;  forfeiture  of  pay  and  allowances;  discharges  from  service;  and 
reprimands.  Solitary  confinement,  or  confinement  on  bread  and  water, 
shall  not  exceed  fourteen  days  at  a  time,  with  intervals  between  the 
periods  <>f  such  confinement  not  less  than  such  periods,  and  not  exceed- 
ing eighty-four  days  in  one  year. 

874.  A  court  martial  cannot  assign -and  make  over -the  pay  of  a  sol-

dier  to  an j  other  person,  and  the  receipt  of  such  person  will  not  be  a* 
sufficient  voucher  for  the  disbursing  officer.  Nor  can  a  soldier  he  re- 
quired to  receipt  for  money  paid  without  his  consent  to  another  person.. 
The  law  prohibits  any  receipt  or  voucher  in  accounts  of  public  money, 
unless  the  full  amount  of  the  receipt  is  paid  to  the  party  who  signed  it. 
*  875.  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courts  martial  are  the  same 
with  reference  to  Ordnance  Sergeants  and  Hospital  Stewards  as  in  the 
cases  of  other  enlisted  men.  When,  however,  an  Ordnance  Sergeant 
or  Hospital  Steward  is  sentenced  by  an  inferior  court  to  be  reduced  to 
the  ranics,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  be  approved  by  the  reviewing 
officer,  will  not  be  carried  into  eflect-until  the  case  has  been  referred 
to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In  these  cases  of  reduction, 
the  application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from  servi  e,  though  not  re- 
cognized as  a  right,  will  generally  be  regarded  with  favor,  if  his  of- 
fence has  not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and  especially  where  Ire  has 
not  hi*en  recently  promoted  from  the  ranks. 

870.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  transmit  the  proceedings,  without  do- 
lay,  to  the  oTeer  haying  authority  to  confirm  the  sentence,  who  shall 
state,  at  the  end  of  the  proceedings  in  each  case,  his  decision  arid  or- 
ders thereon. 

o77.  The  original  proceedings  of  all  general  courts-martial,  after  the. 
decision  on  them  of  the  reviewing  authority,  and  all  proceedings  that 
require  the  decision  of  thl  President  under  the  G5th  and  89th  Articles 
of  War,  and  copies  of  all  orders  confirming  or  disproving,  or  remitting 
the  sentences  of  courts  martial,  an  I  all  official  communications  for  the 
Judge  Advocate  of  the  army,  will  be  addressed  to  "  "  The  Adjutant  and 
Inspector-  General  />/'  the  Army,  War  Department,"  marked  un  the  cover, 
"Judge  Advocate." 

.  The  proceedings  of  garrison  and  regimental  courts-martial  will 
he  transmitted  without  delay,  by  the  garrison  or  regimental  comman- 
der, to  the  department  headquarters  for  the' supervision  of  the  depart- 
ment commander. 

.   The  power  to  pardon   or  mitigate  the  punishment  ordered  by  a 
court-martial,  is  vested   in    the   authority   confirming  the  proceedings, 
and  in  the  President  of  the  Confederate   States.     A  superior  military 
Commander  to  the  officer  confirming  the  proceedings   may  suspend  the 
execution  of  the  sentence  when,  in  his  judgment,    it   is  void  upon  tho 
face  of  the  proceedings,  or  when  he  sees  a  fit  case  for  executive  clem- 
ency.    In  such  eases    I  rd,  with  his  order  prohibiting  the  execu- 
"oall  be  transmitted  for  the  final  orders  of  the  President. 
1    When  a  court-martial  or  court  of  enquiry  adjourns  without  day, 
embers   will   return   to   their   respective  posts   ami  duties,  unless 
otherwise  ordered. 

When  a  court  adjourns  for  three  days,  the  Judge  Advocate  shall 
report  tho  f;rct  to  the  commander  of  the  post  or  troops,  and  the  mem- 
bers belonging  to  the  command  will  be  liable   to  duty  during  the  time.

artificers  of  artillery,  are  not  entitled  to  this  allowance  when  employed 
in  their  appropriate  work. 

884.  Soldiers  will  not  be  employed  as  extra  duty  men  for  any  labor 
in  camp  or  garrison  which  can  properly  be  performed  by  fatigue  par- 
ties. 

885.  No  extra  duty  men,  except  those  required  for  the  ordinary  ser- 
vice of  the  Quartermaster.  Commissary,  and  Medical  Departments,  and 
saddlers  in  mounted  companies,  will  be  employed  without  previous-au- 
thority from  department  headquarters,  except  in  case  of  necessity, 
which  shall  be  promptly  reported  to  the  department  commander. 

886.  Extra-duty  pay  of  a  saddler  in  a  mounted  company  will  be 
charged  on  the  company  muster-roll,  to  be  paid  by  the  Quartermaster 
and  refunded  by  the  Ordnance  Department.  Extra-duty  pay  of  cooks

without  regard  to  rank. 

888.  A  day's  work  shall  not  exceed  ten  hour's  in  summer,  nor  eight 
in  winter.  Soldiers  are  paid  in  proportion  for  any  greater  number  of 
hours  they  are  employed  each  day.  Summer  is  considered  to  commence 
on  the  1st  of  April,  and  winter  on  the  l>t  of  October. 

889-.  Although  the  necessities  of  the  service  may  require  soldiers  to 
lie  ordered  on  working  parties  as  a  duty,  commanding  officers  are  to 
bear  in  mind  that  fitnrss  for  military  service  by  instruction  and  disc.p 
line  is  the  object  for  which  the  army  is  kept  on  foot,  and  that  they  are 
not  to  employ  the  troops  when  not  in  the  field,  and  especially  the 
mounted  troops,  in  labors  that  interfere  with'  their  military  duties  and 
exercises,  except  in  cases  of  immediate  necessity,  which  shall  be  forth*

cases  the  Secretary  of  War  shall  otherwise  direct,  shall  be  procured  by 
contract,  to  be  made  by  the  Commissary-General  on  public  notice,  to  be

market,  on  public  notice,  from  the  lowest  bidder  who  produces  the  pro-

1099.  And  whenever  a  deficiency  of  subsistence  stores«makes  it  neces- 
sary to  buy  them,  the  commissary,  where  they  are  needed,  will  make  a 
requisition  for  that  purpose  on  the  proper  purchasing  commissary,  or

1103.  Good  and  sufficien-t  store-room  for  trie  subsistence  stores  will

tificates of  issues  to  the  hospital,  and  borne  on  the  monthly  return, of 
provisions  received  and  issued.  Vouchers  for  purchases  for  the  hospital 
must  either  be  certified  by  the  Surgeon,  or  accompanied  by  his  requisi- 
tion.  *^ 

1113.  Abstracts  of  the  issues  to  the  hospital  will  be  made  by  the  com- 
missary certified  by  the  Surgeon,  and  countersigned  by  the  command* 
ing  officer  (see  Form  3).

ficer commanding  the  company  must  make  a  report  to  tlte  commanding 
officer. of  the  post  where  the  women  may  be  left,  designating  such  as 
are  to  draw  rations  as  attached  to  his  company.  Their  rations  are  not 
commuted,  and  they  can  only  draw  them  at  a  military  post  or  station 
■where  there  are  supplies. 

1115.  When  provisions  can  be  spared  from  the  military  supplies, 
commanding  officers  have  discretion  to  order  issues  to  Indians  visiting 
military  posts  on  the  frontiers,. or  in  their  respective  nations,  and  to 
order  sales  of  subsistence  to  Indian  agents  for  issues  to  Indians.  The 
returns  for  issues,  where  there  is  no  Indian  agent,  will  be  signed  by  the 
commanding  afficer.  The  sales  will  be  for  cash,  at  cost,  including  all 
expenses ;  to  be  entered  on  the  monthly  return,  and  credited  on  the

dles, per  month,  may  be  made  to  the  principal  guard  of  each  camp  and 
garrison,  on  the  order  of  the  commanding  officer.  Extra  issues  of  soap, 
candles  and  vinegar,  aro  permitted  to  the  hospital  when  the  Surgeon 
does  not  avail  himself  of  the  commutation  of  the  hospital  rations,  or 
when  there  is  no  hospital  fund;  salt  in  small  quantities  may  be  issued 
for  public  horses  and  cattle.  When  the  officers  of  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment find  antiscorbutics  necessary  for  the  heaKh  of  the  troops,  the  com- 
manding officer  may  order  issues,  of  fresh  vegetables,  pickled  onions, 
sour  krout  or  molasses,  with  an  extra  quantity  office  and  vinegar. 
(Potatoes  are  usually  issued  at  the  rate  of  one  pound  per  ration,  and 
onions  at  the  rate  of  three  bushels  in  lieu  of  one  of  beans.)  Occasional 
issues  (extra)  of  molasses  are  made — two  quarts  to  one  hundred  rations 
—and  of  dried  apples,  of  from  one  to  one  and  a  half  bushels  to  one 
hundred  rations.  Troops  at  sea  are  recommended  to  draw  rice  and  an 
extra  issue  of  molasses  in  lieu  of  beafis.  When  anti  scorbutics  are  is- 
sued, the  medical  officer  will  certify  the  necessity,  and  the  circumstances 
which  cause  it,  upon  the  abstract  of  extra  issues,  (see  Form  4). 

1118.  When  men  leave  their  company,  the  rations  they  have  drawn, 
and  left  with  it,  will  be  deducted  from  the  next  return  for  the  company: 
a  like  rule  when  men  are  discharged  from  the  hospital  will  govern  the 
haspital  return.  Inasmuch  as  the  Regulations  concerning  the  issue  of 
commissary  Stores  have  been  violated  by  issuing  the  same  to  civilians: 
Hereafter,  all  issues  of  subsistence  not  warranted  by  the  Regulations,

1145.  Duplicate  originals  of  nil  contracts  en  account  of  subsisj 
tence  -will  be  sent  to  the  Commissary-QeneraPa  office  throwjh  tlie  prin- 
cipal Commissary  of  Subsistence  of  tlie  Military  Department  in  which 
the  contract  is  made.  The  place  of  residence  of  oach  surety  to  tbo  bond 
must  be  named  therein  with  particularity.  Where  the  form  is  pre- 
scribed it  will  be  followed;  in  all  cases  contracts  must  be  drawn  up 
and  executed  to  meet  the  requirements  of  tbo  law.  Every  contract, 
whether  for  services  or  for  the  furnishing  of  supplies,  which  contem- 
plates a  partial  performance,  from- time  to  time,  continuing  until  the 
whole  duty  is  performed,  or  the  whole  delivery  of  the  enumerated, arti- 
cles is  effected,  must  provide  in  express  terms  for  its  earlier  termina- 
tion, if  the  Commissary-General  shall  so  direct. 

1140.  Estimates  for  funds  must  be  rendered  in  duplicate. 

1147.  In  order  to  establish  an  invariable  rule  for  ascertaining  the 
nett  weight  of  beef  cattle  received  on  the  hoof,  the  following  modo  is 
adopted,  end  for  the  future,  in  all  cases  will  be  observed  : 

1.  When  practicable,  cattle  presented  for  acceptance  must  be  weighed 
upon  the  scales.  From  tho  live  weight  of  a  steer,  thus  ascertained,  his 
nett  weight  sUnll  be  determined  by  deducting  forty  five  per  centum, 
when  his  gross  weight  exceeds  thirteen  hundred  (1300)  pounds,  and 
fifty  per  centum  when  it  is  less  than  that,  and  not  under  eight  hundred 
(800).  pounds! 

2.  When  it  is  impracticable  to  weigh  upon  the  scales,  one  or  more 
average  steers  must  be  selected,  killed  and  dressed  in  the  usual  manner. 
The  average  nett  weight  of  these  (neck  and  shanks  excluded)  will  be 
accepted  as  the  average  nett  weight  of  the  herd.  In  all  written'instru- 
ments  for  the  delivery  of  cattle  on  the  hoof,  the  manner  prescribed 
above,  for  ascertaining  nett  weight,  must,  in  express  terms,  be  inserted  ; 
in  verbal  agreements,  it  must  be  understood  and  accepted  by  the  party 
delivering  the*cattle.  Vouchers  fur  tho  payments  of  cattlo  will  slafo 
the  manner  pursued  in  determining  their  nett  weight,  except  where 
payment  has  been  made  on  the  ccrtifu lategof  an  officer,  in  which  case 
the  certificate  will  state  tho  mede  followed. 

3.  With  a  view  to  the  prevention  of  losses',  now  so  frequently  occur- 
ring, from  over-estimating' the  weight  of  cattle  received  on  the  hoof, 
the  serious  attention  of  officers  and  agents  serving  in  this  department, 
is  specially  called  to  tho  exercise  of  greater  care  in  the  discharge  of 
this  important  duty. 

1148.  When  fresh  beef  can  be  provided,  it  will  be  issued  to  the  troops 
five  times  per  week.  When  the  cireums'.  favorable,  and  it  can 
be  done  with  advantage  to  the  Government,  the  Subsistence  Department 
will  keep  beef  cattle  to  supply  thcisMics. 

1149.  The  followir  nd  substitutions  maybe  made:  When, 
from  excessive  fatigue  or  exposure,  the  commanding  uflicer  may  deem 
it  necessary,  he  may  direct  the  issue  of  whiskey  to  tho  enlisted  men  of 
bis  command,  not  to  exceed  a  gill  per  man  for  each  day.  Tea  may  bo 
issued  in  lieu  of  coffee,  at  the  rate  of  one  and  a  half  pounds  p« 
hundred  rationfl.  Two  '•*  issues'1  per  week  of  "desiccated  vegetal 
may  be  made  in  lieu  of  "  bean--"  or  "  rid  v,  lien

Medical  Bureau. 

1206.  The  account  will  set  out  the  name  of  the  patient,  the  date  of 
and  charge  for  each  visit,  and  for  medicines.  The  physician  will  make 
a  certificate  to  the  acount  in  case  of  an  officer,  or  affidavit  in  case  of  an 
enlisted  man,  that  the  account  is  correct,  and  the  charges  are  the  cus- 
tomary charges  of  the  place. 

1207.  The  officer  will  make  his  certificate,  or  the  enlisted  man  his  af- 
fidavit, to  the  correctness  of  the  account,  that  he  was  on  service  at  the 
place,  and  stating  the  circumstances  preventing  him  from  receiving  the 
services  of  a  medical  officer. 

1208.  When  the  charge  is  against  an  officer,  he  willpay  the  account 
if  practicable,  and  transmit  it  to  the  Medical  Bureau  for  reimburse- 
ment. In  all  other  cases,  the  account  will  be  transmitted  to  the  Medi- 
cal Bureau  for  settlement. 

1209.  If  the  charge  is  against  a  deceased  officer  or  enlisted  man,  the 
physician  will  make  the  affidavit,  before  required  to  the  account,  and 
that  he  has  been  paid  no  part  of  it. 

,  1210.  No  charges  for  consultation  fees  will  be  paid  by  the  Medical  ' 
Bureau;  nor  will  any  accoqntTor  medical  attendance  or  medicines  be 
paid,  if  the  officer  or  enlisted  man  be  not  on  service. 

1211.  A  board  of  not  less  than  three  medical  officers  will  be  appoint- 
ed from  time  to  time,  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  to  examine  applicants 
for  appointment   of  assistant  surgeons  in  the  regular  army,  and  assis- 
tant surgeons  for  promotion.  -And  no  one  shall  be  appointed  or  pro- 
moted until  so  examined  and  found  qualified. 

1212-  The  board  will  scrutinize  rigidly  the  moral  habits,  profession- 
al acquirements,  and  physical  qualifications  of  the  candidates,  and  re- 
port favorably,  either  for  appointment  or  promotion,  in  no  case  admit- 
ting of  a  reasonable  doubt. 

1213.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  designate  the  applicants  to  be  ex- 
amined for  appointment  of  assistant  surgeon.  They  must  be  between 
21  and  25  years  of  age.  The  board  will  report  their  respective  merits 
hi  the  several  branches  of  the  examination,  and  their  relative- merit 
from  the  whole;  agreeably  whereto,  if  vacancies  happen  within  two 
years  thereafter,  they  will  receive  appointments  and  ta\e  rank  in  the 
medical  Corps. 

1214.  When  an  assistant  sargenn  has  served  five  years,  he  is  subject 
to  be  examined  for  promotion.  If,  he  decline  the  examination,  or  be 
found  not  qualified  by  moral  habits  or  professional  acquirements,  he 
ceases  to  be  a  medical  officer  of  the  army. 

1215.  An  applicant  for  appointment  failing  at  one  examination,  maj 
be  allowed  a  second  after  two  years  ;  but  never  a  third. 

1216.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  appoint,  on  the  recommendation  of 
the  Surgeon  General,  from  the  enlisted  men  of  the  army,  or  cause  to  be 
enlisted,,  as  many  competent  hospital  stewards  as  the  service  may  re- 
quire. 

1217.  The  senior  medical  officer  of  a  command  requiring  a  steward, 
may  recommend  a  competent  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  to  bo 
appointed,  which  recommendation  the  eommapding  officer  shall  forward 


MEDICAL     DEPARTMENT-  ,  241 

to  the  Adjutant  ami  Inspector-General  of  the  army,  with  his  remarks 
thereon,  aad  with  the  remarks  of  the  company  commander. 

1218.  When  no  competent  enlisted  man  can  be  procured,  the  medical 
oficer  will  report  the  fact  to  ^he  Surgeon  General.  Applications  and 
testimonials  of  competency?  from  persons  seeking  to  he  enlisted  for  hos- 
pital stewards,  may  be  addressed  to  the  Surgeon  General. 

1219.  The  commanding  officer  may  re-enlist  a  hospital  steward  at  the 
expiration  of  his  term  of  6ervjoe,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  medi- 
cal officer. 

1220.  No  soldier,  or  citizen,  will  be  recommended  for  appointment 
who  is  not  knoicn  to  be  temperate,  honest,  and  in  every  way  reliable,  as 
well  as  sufficiently  intelligent,  and  skilled  in  pharmacy,  for  the  proper 
discharge  of  the  responsible  duties  likely  to  be  devolved  upon  him. 
Until  this  is  foots*,  he  will  be  appointed  an  acting  steward  by  the  med- 
ical officer,  with  the  approval  of  the  conwianding  officer,  and  will  be 
entitled  to  the  pay  and  .allowances  of  hospital  steward. 

1221.  Hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  whenever 
stationed  in  places  whenee  no  post  return  is  made  to  the  Adjutant-Gen- 
eral's office,  or  when  on  furlough,  will,  at  the  end  of  every  month,  re- 
port themselves,  by  letter,  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General»and 
Surgeon  General,  as  well  as  to  the  Medical  Director  of  the  military  de- 
partment in  which  they  may  be  serving;  to  each  of  whom  they  will 
•Jso  report  each  new  alignment  to  duty,  or  change  of  station,  ordered 
in  their  case,  noting  carefully  the  number,  date,  and  source  of  the  order 
directing  the  same.  They  will  likewise  report  monthly,  when  on  fur- 
lough, to  the  Medical  officer  in  charge  of  the  hospital  to  which  they 
are  attache  1. 

1222;  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courts-martial  are  the  same 
with  reference  to  hospital  stewards  as  in  the  cases  of  other  enlisted 
men.  When,  however,  a  hospital  steward  is  sentenced  by  an  inferior 
court  to  be  reduced  to  the  ranks,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  be  ap- 
proved by  the  reviewing  officer,  will  not  be  carried  into  effect  until  the 
ease  has  been  referred  to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In 
these  cases  of  reduction,  the  application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from 
service,  though  not  recognized  as  of  right,  will  generally  be  regarded  with 
favor,  if  his  offence  has  not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and  especially 
when  he  lias  not  been  recently  promoted  fn>m  the  ranks. 

1228.  As  the  hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War, 
are  permanently  attached  to  the  Medical  Department,  their  accounts  of 
pay,  clothing,  io.,  must  be  kept  by  the  medical  officers  under  whose 
immediate  direction  they  are  serving,  who  are  also  responsible  for  cer- 
tified statements  of  such  accounts,  and  correct  descriptive  lhts  of  such 
stewards,  to  accompany  them  in  ca«e  of  transfer  ;  as,  also,  that  their 
final  statements  and  certificates  of  discharge  are  accurately  made  out, 
when  they  are  at  length  discharged  from  Bervicc.

RECRUITING    SERVICE. 


ARTICLE 


RECRUITING   SERVICE. 


1383.  The  recruiting  service  will  be  conducted  by  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector General  under  the  direction  of  the  Secretary  of  war. 

1384.  Field  officers  will  be  detailed  to  superintend  the  recruiting  dis- 
tricts, and  lieutenants  to  take  charge  of  the  recruiting  parties.  The  re- 
cruiting service  will  form  a  special  roster.  The  Adjutant  and  Inspector 
General  will  detail  the  field  officers,  and  announce  in  orders  the  num- 
ber of  lieutenants  to-be  detailed  from  each  regiment  by  its  colonel. 
When  the  detail  is  not  according  to  the  roster,  the  special  reason  of  the 
case  shall  be  reported  and  laid  before  the  Secretary  of  War. 

1385.  A ;  recruiting  party  will  consist  generally  of  one  lieutenant, 
one  non-commissioned  officer,  two  privates,  and  a  drummer  and  filer. 
The  parties  will  be  sent  from  the  principal  depots,  and  none  but  suitable 
men  selected. 

1386.  Officers  on  the  general  recruiting  service  are  not  to  be  ordered 
on  any  other  duty,  except  from  the  Adjutant  General's  Office. 

DUTIES   OF    SUPERINTENDENTS. 

1387.  As  soon  as  a  recruiting  station  is  designated,  the  superintend- 
ent sends  estimates  for  funds  to  the  Adjutant  General,  and  requisitions 
on  the  proper  departments  (through  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General) 
for  clothing,  camp  equipage,  arms,  and  accoutrements. 

1388.  Subsequent  supplies  for  the  stations  in  his  district  are  procured 
by  the  superintendent  on  consolidated  estimates;  these  are  made  quar- 
terly for  funds,  and  every  six  or  twelve  .months  for  clothing,  equipage, 
arms,  and  accoutrements.  Estimates  for  funds  will  be  in  the  following 
form  :

RECRUITING     CEHVICE.  385 

1389.  Funds  and  supplies  of  clothing,  camp  and  garrison  equipage, 
arms  and  accoutrements,  when  ordered,  will  be  sent  direct  to  each  sta- 
tion. «     * 

1390.  The  superintendents  will  transmit  to  tho  Adjutant  and  Inspector 
General  consolidated  monthly  returns  of  the  recruiting  parties  under 
their  superintendence,  according  to  directions  on  the  printed  blanks, 
accompanied  by  one  copy  of  the  enlistment  of  each  recruit,  enlisted 
within  the  month.  Also  a  quarterly  return  of  deceased  solaiers  to  tho 
Adjutant  und  Inspector  General  and  Second  Auditor. 

1391.  When  recruits  should  bo  sent  to  regiments,  a  superintendent 
will  report  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  for  instructions  in 
reference  thereto. 

1392.  When  recruits  are  sent  from  a  depot  or  rendezvous  to  a  regi- 
ment or  post,  a  muster  and  descriptive  roll,  and  an  account  of  clothing  of 
the  detachment,  will  be  given  to  the  officer  assigned  to  the  command  of 
it ;  and  a  duplicate  of  the  muster  and  descriptive  soil  will  be  forwarded 
to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  by  the  superintendent,  who  will 
note  on  it  the  names  of  all  the  officers  on  duty  with  the  detachment,  aud 
the  day  of  its  departure  from  the  depot  or  rendezvous. 

1393.  The  superintendent  will  report  all  commissioned  or  non-com- 
missioned officers  who  may  be  incapable  or  negligent  in  the  discharge 
of  their  functions.  Where  a  recruiting  party  fails  to  get  recruits  from 
any  cause  other  than  the  fault  of  the  officer,  the  superintendent  will 
recommend  another  station  for  the  party. 

1394.  When  a  rendezvous  is  closed,  the  superintendent  will  give  the 
necessary  instructions  for  the  safe-keeping  or  disposal  of  the  public 
property,  so-  as  not  to  involve  any  expense  for  storage. 

1395.  Tours  of  inspection  by  superintendents  will  be  made  only  on 
instructions  from  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  Office.  Officers 
on  the  recruiting  service  will  not  be  sent  from  place  to  place  without 
orders  from  the  same  source. 

DUTIES   OF    RECRUITING    OFFICERS. 

139fl.  Success  in  obtaining  recruits  depends  much  on  the  activity 
and  personal  attention  of  recruiting  officers,  and  they  will  not  entrust 
to  enlisted  men  the  duties  for  which  themselves  only  are  responsible. 
They  will  in  no  case  absent  themselves  from  their  stations  without  au- 
thority from  the  superintendent. 

1397.  Recruiting  officers  will  not  allow  any  man  to  be  deceived  br  in- 
veigled into  the  service  by  false  representations,  but  will  in  person  ex- 
plain the  nature  of  the  service,  the  length  of  the  term,  the  pa.v,  cloth- 
ing, rations,  and  other  allowances  to  which  a  soldier  is  entitled  by  law, 
"to  every  man  before  lie  signs  the  enlistment.  If  minors  present  them- 
selves, they  arc  to  be  treatcl  with  great  candor;  the  names  and  resi- 
dences of  their  parents  or  guardians,  if  they  have  any,  must  l>e  ascer- 
tained, and  thev  will  be  informed  of  the  minor's  wish  to  enlist,  that 
they  may  make  their  objections  or  give  their  consent 

R98.  With  the  sanction  of  superintendents,  recruiting  officers  may 
insert  in  not  exceeding  two  newspapers,  brief  notices  directing  atten-

effective,  able-bodied,  sober,  free  from  disease,  of  good  character  and 
habits,  and  able  to  spe^ak  and  understand  well  the  English  language, 
may  be  enlisted.  This  regulation,  so  far  as  respects  the  height  and  age 
of  the  recruit,  shall  not  extend  to  musicians,  or  to  soldiers  who  may

ment in  the  army.

without  the  written  consent  of  his  parent,  guardian,  or  master.  The 
recruiting  officer  must  be  very  particular  in  ascertaining  the  true  age 
of  the  recruit,  and  will  not  accept  him  when  there  is  a  doubt  of  his 
being  of  age. 

1401.  After  the  nature  of  the  service  and  terms  of  enlistment  have 
been  fairly  explained  to  the  recruit,  the  officer,  before  the  enlistments 
are  filled  up,  will  read  to  him,  and  offer  for  his  signature,  the  annexed 
declaration,  to  be  appended  to  each  copy  of  his  enlistment : 

I,- ,  desiring  to  enlist  in  the  Army  of  the  Confederate  States 

for  the  period  of  five  years,  do  declare  that  I  am years  and — — 

months  of  age;  that  I  have  neither  wife  nor  child;  that  I  have  nevef 
been  discharged  from  the  Confederate  States  service  on  account  of  dis- 
ability, or  by  a  sentence  of  a  court  martial,  or  by  order  before  the  expi- 
ration of  a  term  of  enlistment ;  and  I  know  of  no  impediment  to  my 
serving  honestly  and  faithfully  as  a  soldier  for  five  yenra. 

Witness :  • . 


1402.  If  the  recruit  be  a  minor,  his  parent,  guardian,  or  master  must 
6ign  a  consent  to  his"  enlisting,  which  will  be  added  to  the  preceding 
declaration,  in  the  following  form  : 

I, ,  do  certify   that  I  am  the  {father,  only  surviving  parent, 

legal  master,  or  guardian)  of ;  that  the  said is years  of 

age  ;  and  I  do  hereby  freely  give  my  consent  to  his  enlisting  as  a  soldier 
in  the  Army  of  the  Confederate  States  fur  the  period  of  five  years. 

Witness  t  . 


1403-  The  forms  of  declaration,  and  of  consent  in  case  of  a  minor, 
having  been  signed  and  witnessed,  the  recruit  will  then  be  duly  in- 
spected by  the  recruiting  officer,  and  surgeon,  if  one  be  present,  and 
if  accepted,  the  20th  and  87th  Articles  of  War  will  be  read  to  him  ; 
after  which  he  will  be  allowed  time  to' consider  the  subject  until  his 
mind  appears  to  be  fully  made  up  before  the  oath  is  administered  to 
him. 

1404.  As  soon  as  practicable,  and  at  least  within  six  days  after  hia 
enlistment,  the  following  oath  will  be  administered  to  the  recruit: 

"  I,  A —  B — ,  do  solemnly  swear  or  affirm,  (as  the  case  may  be,)  that 
I  will  bear  true  allegiance  to  the  Confederate  States  of  America,  and 
that  I  will  serve  them  honestly  and  faithfully  against  all  their  enemies 
or  opposers  whatsoever,  and  observe  and  obey  the  orders  of  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Confederate  States,  and  the  orders  of  the  officers  appointed 
over  me,  according  to  the  rules  and  articles  for  the  government  of  tlje 
armies  of  the  Confederate  States."     (See  10th  Art.  War.)

1408.  If  it  be  necessary,  as  in  the  case  of  sickness,  to  employ  a  phy- 
sician, the  recruiting  officer  may  engage  his  services  by  contract,  on 
reasonable  terms,  by  the  visit,  or  by  the  month.  If  by  the  month,  the

quarterly  accounts,  (paragraph  1280,  No.  1,)  a  second  to  the  superin- 
tendent with  his  monthly  return,  (paragraph  1280,  No.  G,)  and  a  third 
to  the  depot  at  the  same  time  the  recruits  are  sent  there.  In  cases  of 
noldiers  re-enlisted  in  a  regiment,  or  of  regimental  recruits,  the  third 
copy  of  the  enlistment  will  be  sent  at  its  date  to  regimental  headquar- 
ters for  file. 

1410.  When  ordnance  sergeants  re-enlist,  the  recruiting  offieer  will 
immediately  send  the  second  copy  of  the  enlistment  direct  to  tho  Adju- 
tant General,  and  the  third  copy  to  the  station  of  tho  ordnance  sergeant

may  re-enlist  into  his  eompany  or  regiment  within  two  months  before, 
or  one  month  after  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  service,  shall  receivo 
•u  bnmty  of  three  months'  extra  pay — that  is  to  say,  tho  j*ny  ho  was  re- 
ceiving as  pay  of  his  grade,  and  as  additional  pay  for  length  of  scrvico 
and  for  certificate  of  merit.  This  bounty  shall  bo  paid  bj  the  recruit-

party  to  wear  their  military  dress  in  a  becoming  manner,  especially 
when  permitted  to  go  abroad. 

1415.  Only  such  articles  of  clothing  as  are  indispensable  for  immedi- 
ate use,  will  be  issued  to  recruits  at  the  rendezvous.  Their  equipment 
will  not  be  made  complete  till  after  they  have  passed  the  inspection 
subsequent  to  their  arrival  at  the  depot. 

1416.  The  instruction  of  the  recruits  will  commence  at  the  rendez- 
vous from  the  moment  of  enlistment.  The  general  superintendent  will 
gee  that  all  recruiting  officers  give  particular  attention  to  this  subject. 

1417.  Recruits  will  be  sent  from  rendevzous  to  depots  every  ten  days, 
or  oftener,  if  practicable,  provided  the  number  disposable  exceeds  three. 
The  detachments  of  recruits  will  be  sent  from  rendezvous  to  depots  un- 
der charge  of  a  non-commissioned  officer. 

1418.  Commutation  for  fuel  and  quarters,  when  allowed,  is  paid  from

self. 

1419.  Every  officer  commanding  a  recruiting  party  will  procure  the 
necessary  transportation,  forage,  fuel,  straw,  and  statiohory,  taking  the 
requisite  vouchers;  but  no  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  is  to  be 
allowed  tp  become  a  contractor  for  the  supplying  of  any  article  which 
may  be  required. 

1420.  The  transportation  of  recruits  to  df  pots,  and  from  one  recruit- 
ing station  to  another,  will  be  paid  from  the  recruiting  funds;  trans- 
portation of  officers  and  enlisted  men  on  the  recruiting  service  will  be 
paid  in  the  same  manner,  except  when  first  proceeding  to  join  that  ser- 
vice, cr  returning  to  their  regiments  after  having  been  relieved. 

1421.  No  expenses  of  transportation  of  officers  will  be  admitted  that

funds  in  his  possession  to  the  officer  appointed  to  succeed  him,  or  to  the 
paymaster,  if  no  officer  be  so  designated  ;  and  if  there  be  no  paymaster 
or  other  proper  officer  convenient  to  receive  such  balance,  the  amount 
will  be  deposited  to  the  credit  of  the  Treasurer  of  the  Confederate 
States,  with  the  most  convenient  Assistant  Treasurer,  or  other  deposi- 
tary of  public  money.  In  .either  case  the  officer  will  forward  to  the 
Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  the  evidence  of  the  disposition  he  may 
make  of  the  funds,  and  report  the  fact  to  the  superintendent,  or  to  his'

jutant and  Inspector-General's  office. 


RECRUITING   SERVICE.  393 

1442.  To  each  depot  there  will  he  assigned  a  suitable  number  of  of- 
ficers to  command  and  instruct  the  recruits  ;  and  when  necessary,  such 
number  of  enlisted  men  as  may  be  designated  at  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector General's  office,  will  he  selected  for  the  permanent  party,  to  do 
garrison  duty  and  for  drill  masters. 

1443.  The  number  of  recruits  at  depots  to  be  assigned  to  each  arm 
and  regiment  is  directed  from  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  of- 
fice. 

1444.  The  recruits  are  to  be  dressed  in  uniform  according  to  their  re- 
spective arms,  and  will  be  regularly  mustered  and  inspected.  They  are 
to  be  well  drilled  in  the  infantry  tactics,  through  the  school  of  the  sol- 
dier to  that  of  the  battalion,  and  in  the  exercise  of  field  and  garrison 
pieces.     Duty  is  to  be  done  according  to  the  strict  rules  of  service. 

1445.  The  general  superintendent  will  cause  such  of  the  recruits  as 
are  found  to  possess  a  natural  talent  for  music,  to  be  instructed  (besides 
the  drill  of  the  soldier)  on  the  fife,  bugle  and  drum,  and  other  military 
instruments ;  and  boys  of  twelve  years  of  age  and  upward  may,  under 
his  direction,  be  enlisted  for  this  purpose.  But  as  recruits  under 
eighteen  years  of  age  and  under  size  must  be  discharged,  if  they  are 
not  capable  of  learning  music,  care  shourd  betaken  to  enlist  these  only 
who  l^ive  a  natural  talent  for  music,  and,  if  practicable,  they  should  be 
taken  on  trial  for  some  time  before  being  enlisted. 

144G.  Regiments  will  be  furnished  with  field  music  on  the  requisi- 
tions of  their  commanders,  made,  from  time  to  time,  direct  on  the  gene- 
ral superintendent ;  and  when  requested  by  regimental  commanders, 
the  superintendents  will  endeavor  to  have  suitable  men  selected  from 
the  »ecruits,  or  enlisted  for  the  regimental  bands. 

1447.  To  give  encouragement  to  the  recruits,  and  hold  out  'induce- 
ments to  good  conduct,  the  commanding  officer  of  the  depot  may  pro- 
mote such  of  them  to  be  lance  corporals  and  lance  sergeants  as  exhibit 
the  requisite  qualifications,  not  exceeding  the  proper  proportion  to  the 
number  of  recruits  at  the  depot.  These  appointments  will  be  an- 
nounced in  orders  in  the  usual  way,  and  will  be  continued  in  force  until 
they  join  their  Tegiments,  unless  sooner  revoked.  No  allowance  of  pay 
or  emoluments  is  to  be  assigned  to  these  appointments  ;  they  are  only 
to  be  considered  as  recommendations  to  the  captains  of  companies  and 
colonels  of  regiments  for  the  places  in  which  the  recruits  may  have 
acted  ;  but  such  non-commissioned  officers  are  to  be  treated  with  all  the 
respect  and  to  have  all  the  authoritywhich  may  belong  to  the  stations 
of  sergeant  and  corpora). 

144S.  Permanent  parties  at  depots,  and  recruiting  parties,  will  be 
musterod,  inspected,  arid  paid  in  the  same  manner  as  other  Boldiers. 
Recruits  will  be  mustered  fir  pay  only  at  depots,  and  when  paid  there 
one  half  of  their  monthly  pay  will  be  retained  until  they  join  their  regi- 
ments. 

1449.  When  recruits  are  received  at  a  garrisoned  post,  the  command- 
ing officer  will  place  them   under  the  charge  of  a  commission.- 1  oftB0F. 

1450.  Recruits  arc  not  to  be  put  to  any  labor  or  work  which  would 
interfere  with  their  instruction,  nor  are  they  to  be  employed  otherwise 
than  as  soldiers,  in  the  regular  duties  of  garrison  and  camp. 

1451.  Every  enlisted  man  discharged  ns  a  minor,  or  for  other  ctraso

involving  fraud  on  his  part  in  the  enlistment,  or  discharged  hy  the  civil 
authority,  shall  forfeit  all  pay  and  allowances  due  at  the  time  of  the 
discharge. 

1452.  The  Rules  and  Articles  of  War  are  to  be  read  to  the  recruits 
every  month,  after  the  inspection  ;  and  so  much  thereof  as  relates  to 
the  duties  -of  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers  will  be  read  to 
them  every  week. 

INSPECTION   OF   KECRUITS    AT    DEPOTS   AND    POSTS. 

1453.  The  superintendent  or  commanding  officer  will  caus'e  a  minute 
and  critical  inspection  to  be  made  of  every  recruit  received  at  a  depot 
two  days  after  his  arrival ;  and  should  any  recruit  be  found  unfit  for 
service,  or  to  have  been  enlisted  contrary  to  law  or  regulations,  he  shall 
assemble  a  Board,  of  Inspectors,  to  examine  into  the  case.  A  board 
may  also  be  assembled  in  a  special  case,  when  a  concealed  defect  may 
become  manifest  in  a  recruit,  at  any  time  during  his  detention  at  the 
depot. 

1454.  Every  detachment  ordered  from  a  d^pot  to  any  regiment  or 
post  shall,  immediately  preceding  its  departure,  be  critically  inspected 
by  the  superintendent  or  commanding  officer  and  surgeon  ;  and,  when 
necessary,  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  convened. 

1455.  Recruits  received  at  a  military  post  or  station  shall  be  carefully 
inspected  by  the  commanding  officer  and  surgeon,  on  the  third  day  after 
their  arrival;  and  if,  on  such  inspection,  any  recruit,  in  theiropinion, 
be  unsound  or  otherwise  defective  in  such  degree  as  to  disqualify  him 
for  the  duties  of  a  soldier,  then  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  assem- 
bled to  examine  into  and  report  on  the  case.  (See  paragraphs  1438, 
1439,  1440.)  *     " 

1456.  Boards  for  the  inspection  of  recruits  will  be  composed  of  the 
three  senior  regimental  officers  present  on  duty,  with  the  troops,  in- 
cluding the  commanding  officer,  and  the  senidT  medical  officer  of  the 
army  present. 

REJECTED  RECRUITS. 

1457.  In  all  cases  of  rejection,  the  reasons  therefor  will  be  stated  at 
large  in  a  special  report,  to  be  made  by  the  board  ;  which,  together  with 
the  surgeon's  certificate  of  disability  for  service,  will  be  forwarded  by 
the  superintendent  or  commandant  of  the  post  direct  to  the  Adjutant 
and  Inspector  General.  In  all  such  cases,  the  commanding  officer  will 
cause  the  articles  of  clothing  which  may  have  been  issued  to  the  re- 
cruit, with  the  price  of  each  article,  to  be  endorsed  on  the  certificate  of 
disability.  If  the  recommendation  of  the  board  for  the  discharge  of  the 
recruit  be  approved,  the  authority  therefor  will  be  endorsed  on  the 
certificate,  which  "will  be  sent  back  to  be  filled  up  and  signed  by  the 
commanding  officer,  who  will  return  the  same  to  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector General's  ofirce. 

1458.  The  board  will  state  in  the  report  whether  the  disability,  or 
other  cause  of  rejection,  "existed  before  his  enlistment,  and  whether, 
vrith  proper  care  and  examination,  it  might  not  have  been  discovered.

have  deserted,  died,  or  been  left  oh  tlie  route  from  any  cause  whatever,

the  post,  the  strength  and  condition  of  the  deta«hment  when  turned 
over  to  tho  commanding  officer,  and  all  circumstances  worthy  of  remark 
which  may  havo  occurred  on  the  march. 

2.  To  the  Commanding  Officer  of  the  regiment  or  post,  the  muster 
and  descriptive  roll  furnished  him  at  the  time  of  setting  out,  properly 
signed  and  completed  by  recording  the  names  of  the  recruits  present, 
and  by  noting  in  the  column  for  remarks,  opposite  the  appropriate 
spaces,  the  time  and  place  of  death,  desertion,  apprehension,  or  other 
casualty  that  may  have  occurred  on  the  route. 

14G0.  Should  an  officer  be  re'ieved  in  charge  of  a  detachment  en 
route,  before  it  reaches  its  destination,  the  date  and  place,  and  name  of, 
the  officer  by  whom  it  is  relieved,  must  be  recorded  on  the  detachment 
roll.  Without  the  evidence  of  such  record,  no  charge  for  extra  pay  for

will  be  signed  and  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  by 
the  commanding  officer  who  makes  the  assignment.  IT  the  recruits 
embraced  in  one  roll  happen  to.be  assigned  to  different  posts,  the  origi- 
nal roll  is  to  continue  with  the  last  detachment  to  its  destination,  each 
commander  completing  it  so  far  as  concerns  the  recruits  left  at  his  post. 
When  this  is  not  practicable,  extracts  from  the  original  roll  are  to  be 
made  by  the  authority  which  distributes  the  recruits,  to  accompany  the 
several  detachments  and  to  be  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector 
General  as  in  case  of  the  original  roll.  >

clothing,  <fec-,  by  requisition  to  the  Adjutant  General. 

1464.  At  every  station  occupied  by  his  regiment,  or  any  part  of  it,
